4.00 Credits
This course examines the human body and its major systems. The course covers the chemical and cellular basis of life, along with tissues, the cardiovascular, lymphatic, digestive, reproductive and urinary systems. In this hands-on course, students will conduct dissections and perform experiments in laboratory conditions.
-
4.00 Credits
This four-credit lab course explores the unseen life on earth. The diversity of microorganisms, including the basics of cell biology and genetics, are examined. Students will gain a deeper understanding of how microbes shape the environment and their essential role in human life. Controlling microbes under special situations (e.g. food safety, hospitals), how the human body defends against microbial invaders, disease outbreaks, and current efforts to track and control infectious diseases are discussed. PRIOR TO FALL 2019, THIS COURSE WAS OFFERED AS SCI 336.
-
4.00 Credits
This four-credit lab course involves the study of gene structure and function. Topics include the molecular basis of heredity, Mendelian and non-Mendelian inheritance, mutation, and biotechnology applications. PRIOR TO FALL 2019, THIS COURSE WAS OFFERED AS SCI 337.
-
4.00 Credits
In this course, students will examine core principles of ecology, including nutrient cycling, and other physical parameters of the earth system. Students will also examine how these abiotic factors influence biota, as well as human impacts on the living and non-living earth. In this hands-on course, students will use key ecological tools and methods to study natural populations and processes. Data analysis will also be an area of emphasis.
-
4.00 Credits
In this course, students will examine core principles of cell and molecular biology, including chemical and molecular foundations of life, genes and gene regulation, cellular organization and function, as well as cell growth and differentiation. As a lab class, students will conduct basic cell and molecular biology experiments, gaining experience in techniques fundamental to this level of biological organization. Students will apply understanding of basic biology to further their understanding of disease and aging.
-
4.00 Credits
In this course, students will examine the immune system and biological concepts governing it. The course will cover cells and organs of the immune system, as well as recognition, response, immunity, B and T-cell development, virology and infectious diseases. The course will also examine autoimmune disease as well as cancer. In this hands-on course, students will use key tools and experimental methods to study the immune system.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides students with a conceptual framework for proteomics. In this hands-on class, students will learn to conduct proteomics experiments, and become familiar with the tools necessary to do so.
-
3.00 Credits
This hands-on course will prepare students to culture animal cells. Students will learn of lab safety, design and materials, as well as preparation. The course covers the vessels, substrate and media involved in culture, cloning and characterization of animal cells.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will introduce students to the concepts and tools involved in bioinformatics. Topics include biological databases, gene prediction, phylogenetic tree construction and protein structure basics. Students will be introduced to R programming, and will then apply understanding of R using hands-on activities and biological examples.
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines forensic DNA typing with a particular emphasis on short tandem repeats. The course covers basic DNA biology, as well as techniques in DNA extraction, quantitation and amplification. The course also examines statistical interpretation of forensic DNA evidence and DNA databases.
