This upper-level seminar course explores an advanced topic in molecular biology such as: the genetic and molecular basis of cancer, aging, behavior, sensory perception, development, control of gene expression, etc. The specific topic of the seminar varies by semester. The first part of the course includes lectures to provide a base of knowledge; thereafter the course focuses on student presentations of current research articles.
Aging: In this course we will use the primary scientific literature to explore the molecular and cellular basis of aging. Each student will write a review style paper on one aspect of aging.
Developmental Genetics: This course involves reading and discussion of research papers and reviews articles that explore the genes that drive developmental processes in worms, flies and mammals.

Students will gain a firm understanding of an almost universal feature of all living things; the ability to tell time. We will explore the cellular and molecular basis of clocks from bacteria to humans and uncover the similarities (and important differences) in biological clocks. Students will be asked to present a lecture on new findings on a relevant topic of their choosing and to write a term paper. See BIO 534 for graduate credit.

This is an upper-level seminar course exploring in detail an advanced topic in medical biology such as medicinal chemistry and new medical breakthroughs. The specific topic of the seminar varies by semester. Recent topics include:
Spring 2010 Medicinal Chemistry: This course will explore the chemistry behind the activity of drugs. Among the classes of drugs to be discussed will be antibacterials, anticancer agents, and analgesics. Discussion will include the site of drug action and drug metabolism, two topics that have a prominent role in drug research and development. Special emphasis will be placed on the relationship between the chemical structure of a drug and the biochemical effect of the drug in vivo.
Spring 2010 Advanced Human Histology: Advanced Human Histology will explore the interface between histology and histopathology. The course will combine the latest in digital virtual microscopy with conventional light microscopy to examine the tissue types of the human body and to explore the combination of these tissue types to make human organ systems. Correlations with gross anatomical specimens will be made to provide a three-dimensional structure of the organ system. This information will be expanded in selected regions to include molecular histopathology - the initiation of pathology at a cellular level. Adobe software products will be used to manipulate and study digital images of histological preparations. Class sessions will be in seminar and lab format with assigned readings and independent lab work.
Fall 2010 - Human Reproduction and Development: This 3-credit course will meet for two 80-minute sessions per week to study the process of reproduction with emphases placed upon reproductive organ function, gametogenesis, fertilization and embryonic/fetal development. In addition, the course will address mechanisms of teratogenesis (i.e., development of birth defects) as well as the transformations in the fetal/newborn circulatory system near the time of birth. The course will use multiple formats, including lectures, discussions, and student presentations of the relevant literature.

3.00 Credits
This is an upper-level seminar course exploring in detail an advanced topic in biology such as: biodiversity, pathogenesis, and developmental genetics. Three credits of 300 level Biology (C- or higher) required. Topics vary by semester. Recent topics include:
DEVELOPMENTAL GENETICS: This course involves reading and discussion of research papers and reviews articles that explore the genes that drive developmental processes in worms, flies and mammals.
PATHOGENESIS: This course will acquaint students with the latest work in bacterial pathogenesis. Course topics will be based on the study and review of journal articles. This course directs students towards thinking critically and developing verbal presentation skills when discussing scientific data. Additionally, students work and discuss scientific ideas with other students.
Animal Social Systems: This is an upper-level seminar course exploring topics in the social behavior of animals. The course involves reading and discussing books or journal articles on a particular aspect of an animal social system. Topics vary by semester. Recent topics have included cooperation among animals, animal communication, and social foraging theory. At the first seminar meeting, participants choose books from a prepared list as the topic(s) for the seminar. Prerequisites: BIO 335 or PSY 335 or permission of the instructor.

Spring 2011: Natural History and Evolution of Galapagos Fauna The combination of isolation and ecology has uniquely shaped species living on each island of the Galapagos archipelago. It is an unequaled laboratory for students to experience how these forces interact to form species. Through the study of evolution, ecology and natural history, students in this class wil become familiar with the biota of the Galapagos Islands.. We will also examine how natural as well as anthropogenic changes have affected the organisms living on these islands. Students will use knowledge accumulated throughout their undergraduate education to interpret, discuss and present information. The class will culminate in a trip to the Galapagos Islands.
