4.00 Credits
Case studies on the effect of genetic engineering on medicine, agriculture, biology, forensics, and various other areas of technology. Each week a set of assigned readings will be discussed. Some of the topics to be covered are vaccines, biomolecular computing and electronics, paleontology, ecology, bioremediation, and polymers. (Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and BCBP 4310.) Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites or corequisites: BCBP 4760 and BIOL 4620, or permission of instructor. When Offered: Fall term, odd-numbered years. Credit Hours: 4
-
3.00 Credits
Characterization of patterns and changes in patterns of protein expression with development, aging, and disease. Protein separation and quantification strategies; mass spectrometry and analysis of spectra; protein profiling, biomarkers, post-translational modifications; current applications; emerging technologies and applications. Individual presentations on relevant topics will be expected. (Students cannot obtain credit for this course and BCBP 4640, BIOL 4640 or BIOL 6640.) Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: BCBP 4760 or equivalent. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 3
-
4.00 Credits
The biophysical mechanism of protein folding and the role of misfolding in human diseases is explored. The course will introduce principles of protein structure, protein folding in the cell, and thermodynamic and kinetic methods for studying protein folding in vitro. The course will also involve a literature-based discussion of human diseases related to protein folding defects, including Alzheimer's and other amyloid diseases, cystic fibrosis, and Prion-related syndromes. (Students may not receive credit for both this course and BCBP 4780, CHEM 4780, or CHEM 6780.) Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: BCBP 4760 or equivalent. When Offered: Spring term even-numbered years. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
Explores the use of spectroscopic methods to study biological systems. Theory and application of techniques including UV-visible absorbance spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, fluorescence, electron paramagnetic resonance and nuclear magnetic resonance, and their application to the study of the structure of macromolecules, enzyme mechanism, and other important biological problems covered. (Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and BCBP 4810.) Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: BCBP 4760 or equivalent. When Offered: Fall term even-numbered years. Credit Hours: 4
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Independent study of selected readings in the fields of biochemistry and biophysics, supervised by a faculty member. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: permission of instructor. When Offered: Offered each term. Credit Hours: 1 to 4
-
3.00 Credits
Active participation in a semester-long project, under the supervision of a faculty adviser. A Professional Project often serves as a culminating experience for a Professional Master's program but, with departmental or school approval, can be used to fulfill other program requirements. With approval, students may register for more than one Professional Project. Professional Projects must result in documentation established by each department or school, but are not submitted to the Graduate School and are not archived in the library. Grades of A, B, C, or F are assigned by the faculty adviser at the end of the semester. If not completed on time, a formal Incomplete grade may be assigned by the faculty adviser, listing the work remaining to be completed and the time limit for completing this work.
-
1.00 - 9.00 Credits
Active participation in research, under the supervision of a faculty adviser, leading to a master's thesis. Grades of IP are assigned until the thesis has been approved by the faculty adviser and accepted by the Office of Graduate Education to be archived in a standard format in the library. Grades will then be listed as S. Credit Hours: 1 to 9
-
3.00 Credits
Active participation in research, under the supervision of a faculty adviser, leading to a doctoral dissertation. Grades of IP are assigned until the dissertation has been publicly defended, approved by the doctoral committee, and accepted by the Office of Graduate Education to be archived in a standard format in the library. Grades will then be listed as S. Credit Hours: Variable
-
1.00 Credits
Introduction to biological systems. Discussion of problems associated with biological organization, scaling, and hierarchy. Major topics covered include evolution, genetics, molecular biology and biotechnology, and ecology. The course considers the biological components of various societal and individual problems. Taught in web-based, interactive studio mode with emphasis on biological simulations, problem solving, and peer teaching methods. Includes a one-credit laboratory. When Offered: Fall and spring terms annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
Structural and functional relationships of cells are discussed with regard to similarities among all living organisms. Introduction to cellular biochemistry, metabolism and energy flow, cellular and Mendelian genetics, and the chemical basis of heredity. The laboratory exercises illustrate current concepts in cellular and molecular biology. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 4 Contact, Lecture or Lab Hours: 6 contact hours
