0.00 - 1.00 Credits
Plants are the foundation of Earth's ecosystems and essential to human survival and civilization. This seminar will examine the physiological, ecological, and evolutionary responses of plants to rapid environmental change, and the consequences for agriculture and the structure and function of natural systems. Expected background: at least one of the following courses - BIOL 0420, 0430, 0440, 0480, or ENVS 0490.
-
1.00 Credits
Analyzes the role of nutrition in health and physical activity. Topics include the metabolism of the energy yielding nutrients in physical activity, body weight and composition for health and sports, and the role of ergogenic agents. The course emphasizes how physical performance may be optimized via the diet. Prerequisite: BIOL 0030. Recommended: BIOL 0800 and BIOL 1160. Instructor permission required.
-
1.00 Credits
This course investigates the cellular, molecular, evolutionary and developmental mechanisms of how organisms sexually reproduce. Diverse organisms and their reproductive mechanisms will be examined, including humans, mice, sea urchins, flies and roundworms, flowering plants and algae. Lectures will be complemented by special topic presentations by the students, relying on the primary literature in this field. Prerequisites: a course in Cell Biology e.g. BIOL 0500 or BIOL 1050, and two additional Biology courses above the introductory (BIOL 0200) level.
-
1.00 Credits
Directed research projects supervised by individual faculty members in the Division of Biology and Medicine. Requiredfor Sc.B. programs in Biology, Biophysics, Marine Biology, Applied Math-Biology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Bioengineering, Computational Biology, and Human Biology; optional for others. Opportunities are available in both campus and hospital-based settings. Projects can serve as basis for Honors theses. Information on specific opportunities and faculty research areas are found in a research database at bms.brown.edu/bug/pages/research.html. The site also offers a student manual, proposal forms, budget request forms, and information about Honors. Individual consultations can be scheduled with Dean Thompson. Required: A completed proposal form, sponsor's and concentration advisor's approval, and written permission from Dean M. Thompson (following review of proposal) prior to registering for any section of this course.

1.00 Credits
Please see description for BIOL 1950.
-
0.00 - 1.00 Credits
Graduate level introduction to quantitative and computational methods in modern biology. Topics include Programming, Modeling, Algorithms, Bioinformatics, Applied Statistics, Structural Biology, Molecular Dynamics, Enzyme Kinetics, and Population and Quantitative Human Genetics. Preference is given to graduate students in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, Physiology, and Biotechnology. Limited to 20 students. Instructor permission required.
-
2.00 Credits
A double-credit graduate course on multidisciplinary experimental approaches to biological questions. Focusing on primary literature, the mechanism and regulation of basic cellular processes involving nucleic acids (synthesis, structure, maintenance and transmission) and proteins (synthesis, maturation, function) and their integration into more complex events (signaling, organelle biogenesis and inheritance, and cell cycle control) will be presented. Discussion sections complement lectures.
-
0.00 - 1.00 Credits
(Undergraduate students should register for BIOL 1050.)
-
1.00 Credits
This course examines microscopy and image analysis in the life sciences. Theoretical and practical aspects of microscopy will be discussed. Students will obtain hands-on experience with electron microscopy, light microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, and confocal microscopy. Students will learn to display images in 3D. For graduate students and advanced undergraduates. Instructor permission required.
-
1.00 Credits
Advanced course in pulmonary physiology. Lecture/ discussion of an aspect of the field (anatomy, ventilation, airway resistance, diffusion). Discussion and critique of primary research papers. Applications to pulmonary pathophysiology, and respiratory aspects of exercise, high altitude, and diving.
