Signal transduction is one of the most rapidly developing fields in biomedical sciences. Defects in signaling pathways can be responsible for diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders and psychoses. This seminar course offers an overview of the molecular pathways that allow cells to receive and process signals from their external environment, with an emphasis on the emerging state-of-the-art techiniques used in their study. For graduate students; qualified undergraduates with permission. Expected: Biochemistry and Cell Biology.

A multidisciplinary course that combines seven areas of science and engineering giving undergraduates a solid foundation in a cutting edge field of biological engineering. Synthetic biology is a mixture of biology, chemistry, engineering, genetic engineering and biophysics. It builds on recent work in systems biology which involves the modeling of biological systems, but goes further in that it involves the construction and standardization of biological parts, that fit together to form more complex systems.

This seminar will focus on the field of ethnobotany with an emphasis placed but not limited to North and South America. We will consider the interactive relationship between people and plants, including how plants are used medicinally, socially and economically. Other topics will include plant extractions and phytochemicals, and their role in society. Students will research and report on scientific papers in a roundtable discussion format. Prerequisites: BIOL 0190E, BIOL 0200 or equivalent placement; and at least one of the following:BIOL 0420, 0430, 0440, or 0500.

Many traits important for evolutionary adaptation, crop improvement, and human health are influenced by many genes as well as the environment. This seminar course will explore the genetic architecture and evolutionary dynamics of complex traits in a hands-on way by teaching analytical skills using real-world data. This course is aimed at upper level undergraduates and graduate students. Prerequisites: BIOL 0470 or BIOL 0480 or equivalents. Basic knowledge of statistics will be helpful.

This seminar will explore our current understanding in conservation science, which ranges from the biology of invasive and threaten species to management and policy options. The course will cover the topics of: (1) managed relocation of species and the creation of novel ecosystems, (2) ecosystem–based management, and (3) consequences of biofuel production on biodiversity. Instructor permission required.

Multicellularity has arisen independently about 20 times among living organisms. We will explore the theoretical issues involved in the origin of multicellularity, including multilevel natural selection and the division of labor, and then survey these themes in all known independent origins of multicellularity. Particular attention will be paid to the segregation of reproductive potential, including its evolution within these groups. Expected background: BIOL 0200 or its equivalent (AP,IB) and any two of the following: BIOL 0470, 0480, 0410, 0430, 0320, 0310, 0440, or 1310. Instructor permission required.

Conservation Medicine is an emerging, interdisciplinary field that studies the relationship between human health, animal health, and environmental change. We will explore the links between changes to the environment, such as climate change and species invasions, and the emergence of infectious diseases in humans and wildlife. We will come to understand Conservation Medicine through the foundations of the primary disciplines relevant to the field including Global Change Biology and Disease Ecology. We will study the causes and consequences of disease emergence, dissect case studies of contemporary wildlife and human diseases linked to environmental change, and have a series of guest lectures from experts in the field. Concepts will be taught and tested on, through lectures, discussion, in class activities, group assignments, nontraditional exams and a creative final project.
