2.00 Credits
Recent developments in biomedical research will be discussed in a moderator-led classroom discussion. Topics may vary by semester but will all relate scientific discoveries to clinical applications and research. Students will make presentations during the semester. Open to students in the accelerated physician-scientist program only. When Offered: Spring semester annually. Credit Hours: 2
-
3.00 Credits
Model systems provide the experimental basis for understanding the conserved principles of developmental biology. This class will cover fundamental topics including axis specification, pattern formation, cell fate and determination, cell differentiation, senescence and apoptosis. Emphasis will be placed on integrating gene function and cell behavior with development. Model systems include vertebrates (e.g. frog and chick) and genetically tractable invertebrates (e.g. fruitflies and roundworms). Prerequisites/Corequisites: BIOL 2120, BIOL 2500 When Offered: Spring term annually Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
Biochemical and morphological evidence underlying current models of cell structure and function. Topics covered include roles of membranes in cell compartmentation, organelle structure and biogenesis, vesicle transport, secretion, cytoskeleton, motility, signaling, mitosis, and cell cycle regulation. Distinctive characteristics of differentiated mammalian cells are examined. The format includes faculty lectures, computer-based tutorials, and student presentations. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: BIOL 4760 or permission of instructor. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
Fundamental physiological processes and their mechanism of action in human and higher mammalian organisms. Emphasis on the control and interaction of physiological systems. Introduction to the muscle, nervous, circulatory, renal, respiratory, digestive, reproductive and hormonal systems. Limited to biology, biochemistry and biophysics, bioinformatics and molecular biology majors and biology accelerated medical students. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: BIOL 2120 or BIOL 4620, CHEM 2250, PHYS 1100. Not recommended for Freshmen and Sophomores. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
Study of basic physiological principles in human and higher mammalian organisms. Emphasis on interaction and control of physiological systems. Introduction to neural, motor, sensory, circulatory, renal, respiratory, reproductive, and hormonal systems. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
3.00 Credits
Microbial activities on rock and minerals; in soils and sediments. Microbial relationships to fossil fuels. Pertinent topics in limnology and marine microbiology. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: BIOL 2310 or BIOL 6310 or ERTH 1010, or permission of instructor. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 3
-
4.00 Credits
Never in the history of civilization is the use of biological weapons against humanity more likely by individuals or groups. Course material will focus on what constitutes biological weaponry. Topics include a history of biological warfare and the basic biological principles involved in the manipulation of biological agents: pathogenic microorganisms (bacteria and viruses), their toxins and their comparative lethality. Modes of environmental dissemination of agents and countermeasures that constitute biological defense will be presented. Course will include class discussion and Internet homework. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: BIOL 1010 or equivalent When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to immune responses, antigen-antibody reactions, antibody structure and formation, blood groups, and antibody-mediated and cell-mediated hypersensitivity. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: BIOL 2120 and BIOL 2310. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the interactions between microbes and their environments. Discussion includes the physiological ecology of microorganisms (effects of physical parameters on microbial distribution and activities in nature), dispersal mechanisms in nature, associations with higher organisms, and the role of man in manipulating microbial activities. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: BIOL 2310 or permission of instructor. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 3
-
4.00 Credits
Central in the myriad environmental challenges modern civilization faces is the maintenance of life-support functions provided by biological diversity or biodiversity. The course considers biodiversity; origins, patterns of change, importance, and current status, especially in the United States. In addition to developing this knowledge base, student term projects will consider and establish the influence of various human mediated activities and processes on biodiversity and the life-support functions it provides. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 4 Contact, Lecture or Lab Hours: 4 contact hours
