1.00 Credits
The Biology Workshop covers applications and current trends in biology, through guest lectures from researchers and hands-on computer programs. Credit will be awarded for EITHER 020.152 or 020.162, but not both. Prereq: Score of 4 or 5 on AP Biology exam
-
1.00 Credits
An overview of the development and use of vaccines in the service of public health. Important issues regarding vaccine development and their global use -- from earliest development to smallpox eradication to current vaccine development strategies for 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza and HIV -- will be discussed. Information presented in this course will be accessable and relevant to students with science and non-science majors.
-
3.00 Credits
Prereq: High school level Chemistry and Biology This course presents an overview to biochemistry and molecular biology, especially focusing on biotechnology and medicine. Students will have classroom and laboratory experience and group presentations.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers all of the major groups of dinosaurs, from Triceratops to T. Rex and its relatives living today, birds. It will also cover the origins of the group, their near demise 65 million years ago, their behavior, growth, and development, and a history of their study.
-
2.00 Credits
This laboratory will introduce molecular cloning techniques that allow bacteria to be used to produce a particular gene product. Recombinant plasmids, carrying a fusion protein gene, will be constructed and used to transform competent E. coli, and the gene products isolated. Prerequisite: permission of instructor. Biology majors have priority. This class will meet 9 am to noon and 1 pm to 2 pm.
-
4.00 Credits
Prereq: 030.101-102 The molecules responsible for the life processes of animals, plants and microbes will be examined. The structures, biosynthesis, degradation and interconversion of the major cellular constituents including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids will illustrate the similarity of the biomolecules and metabolic processes involved in diverse forms of life.
-
4.00 Credits
How the molecules of living systems are organized into organelles, cells, tissues, and organisms will be explored, as well as how the activities of all of these are orchestrated and regulated to produce “life”—a phenomenon greater than the sum of its parts. Considerable emphasis is placed on experimental approaches to answering these questions. Topics covered include biological membranes, cytoskeletal elements, cell locomotion, membrane and protein traffic, the nucleus, second messengers, signal transduction, cell growth, the cell cycle, the extracellular matrix, cell contacts and adhesion, intercellular communication, epithelial structure and function, and the cell biology of early development and organ function. Prereq: AS.020.305.
-
3.00 Credits
This course explores the outstanding problem of biology: how knowledge is represented in the brain. Relating insights from cognitive psychology and systems neuroscience with formal theories of learning and memory, topics include (1) anatomical and functional relations of cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, limbic system, thalamus, cerebellum, and spinal cord; (2) cortical anatomy and physiology including laminar/columnar organization, intrinsic cortical circuit, hierarchies of cortical areas; (3) activity-dependent synaptic mechanisms; (4) functional brain imaging; (5) logicist and connectist theories of cognition; and (6) relation of mental representations and natural language.
-
2.00 Credits
Prereq: 020.305 This course will reinforce the topics presented in Biochemistry AS 020.305.01 through laboratory exercises which use quantitative measurement to study cellular components. Topics include pH, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and enzymes.
-
2.00 Credits
This course will reinforce the topics presented in 020.306 Cell Biology through laboratory exercises which use visible and fluorescence microscopy to study chromosomes, cell organelles, cell surface receptors, contractile proteins, and microfilaments. Prereq: 020.305; Coreq: 020.306
