    This is an introductory course which will provide the student with an understanding of the basic principles of aquaculture and will include opportunities for the student to participate in the culture of aquatic organisms. The course will include segments based on chemistry, biology and genetics and will seek to integrate all of these disciplines. Also included will be discussions on marketing and seafood safety. This course will provide the basis for students to be involved in more detailed aquaculture coursework and research both here at the university and at other sites. Prerequisite: SLF125 & SCH111.
  • 4.00 Credits

    The biomedical research methods course will encompass a broad area of science including the investigation of the biomedical processes and different causes of diseases. This will entail observation, careful and well-designed experimentation, and laboratory work, analysis and testing. Research methods is a knowledge base to discover strategies to prevent disease in general, but beneficial products can be developed such as vaccines and other medications through biotechnological techniques to treat and cure diseases and maybe death in humans and animals. Biomedical research is a multidisciplinary task that involves biological scientists, physical scientists and other individuals with diverse backgrounds and skills. These might include medical doctors, veterinarians, computer scientists, engineers, technicians and researchers from different fields of the life sciences.

    Translational science describes the process of moving basic research and technology out of the laboratory into commercial ventures that allow the general public to benefit from the discoveries. This discipline is dependent upon the integration of science and business. Many universities, research institutions and independent parties are investing in accelerators and business incubators to support the commercialization of emergent technologies, encouraging scientists to think like entrepreneurs and appreciate the commercialization potential of their research. This course was created in partnership with the Wistar Institute, a preeminent cancer research institute in Philadelphia, to provide students with hands-on experience in translational science, leveraging real intellectual property (IP). Teams of students will select from an offering of IP/technology that Wistar is pursuing both in the laboratory and as prospective commercial opportunities. To the extent possible, each team will comprise students from different majors (ISBT, BIO, MGT). The students will familiarize themselves with the underlying science/technology by directly interacting with the inventor scientist, identify the unmet needs the science/technology addresses, research and characterize key commercialization issues such as IP, market opportunity, competition, regulatory pathways, and potential customers. At the end of the semester each team will develop a business pitch that addresses the scientific merit, value proposition, overall feasibility and route to commercialization of their selected technology. There will be a formal presentation to a panel of judges, including angel and institutional investors, the objective of which will be to convince the panel of the merits of investing in the technology opportunity.
