4.00 Credits
This course will provide students with an in-depth examination of the molecular mechanisms involved with gene regulation. The goal of this course will be to expose students to the complexity of regulation of specific biological phenomena, emphasizing current areas of research interest. Examples of semester topics include aspects of immunity, the cell cycle and oncogenes, phage replication and infection, and cellular growth and development. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: BIOL 4760. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 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, BCBP- 6640 or BIOL-6640.) Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: BCBP 4760 or equivalent. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
3.00 Credits
Examination of how microorganisms interact with each other and with their environment. Microbial distribution and activities in natural systems, and their importance to ecosystem function and environmental quality. Field work and laboratory experience with both classical and modern molecular microbiological techniques including sampling and chemical and physical site characterization; enrichment techniques, fluorescence in situ hybridization, 16S rDNA amplification, sequence analysis and probe design. Current literature regarding manipulation and regulation of microbial activities will be discussed. This course will be taught at the Darrin Fresh Water Institute at Lake George. A nominal fee will be charged for housing. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequiste: Microbiology (BIOL 2310) or permission of instructor. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4 Contact, Lecture or Lab Hours: A total of 3 hours of lecture/class time and 3 hours laboratory time is required per week.

4.00 Credits
Freshwater ecology is the quantitative examination of major biological fresh water communities. Course discussions will delineate the physical and chemical regimes under which aquatic organisms exist. Basic limnological processes are studied to define aquatic systems of differing physical characteristics. Nutrient chemistry analyses of waters of varying acidity, alkalinity, and chemical loadings are related to their trophic status. Lecture and Laboratory are taught at the Darrin Fresh Water Institute at Lake George with field activities at various locations in the Adironacks. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: BIOL 1010 or equivalent and permission of instructor. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
Major principles of biochemistry are illustrated, as students purify and analyze specific proteins. Experience is obtained with various techniques including tissue extraction, chromatography,ultracentrifugation, spectrophotometric analysis, and electrophoresis. The course includes extensive hands-on laboratory work, as well as the writing of in-depth reports, and is qualified as a writing-intensive course. (Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and BCBP-4710.) This is a communication-intensive course. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: BIOL 1010. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
