  • BIOL 403: Developmental Biology

    4.00 Credits
    Saint John Fisher University

    This course examines the principles of development at the body plan, organ, tissue, cell, molecular, and genetic level. This course is devoted to the study of animal development and concerned with the causal basis of developmental events. Topics include: embryonic organization, the role of genes in development, inductive interactions, morphogenesis, and pattern formation. A selection of laboratory techniques commonly applied to developmental questions including immunocytochemistry and fluorescent light microscopy reinforces these topics. Lecture: 3 hours; Laboratory: 3 hours. Prerequisites: BIOL 311, 311L.

  • BIOL 414: Microbial Ecology

    3.00 Credits
    Saint John Fisher University

    Microbial diversity is key to the operation of the biosphere. This course will examine the evolution and speciation of microorganisms, microbial life on land and in the sea, species that inhabit extreme environments (i.e., hot springs and polar sea ice), bacterial communication and biofilm formation, and symbiosis between microorganisms and plants, animals, and humans. Timely topics, such as microbes in space, microbial bioremediation and biodegradation, will also be addressed. This course will include critical analyses of primary and secondary scientific literature and will incorporate a semester-long research project within the scheduled course time. Prerequisites: BIOL 120C, 127L, 128C, 214.
