-
2.00 Credits
2 hours. A detailed examination of the biological basis for cancer and anti-tumor therapies. Specific topics include: viral and chemical oncogenesis; disruption of the cell cycle; angiogenesis; metastasis; chemotherapy; epidemiology of cancer; and host-tumor interactions. 2 hours lecture. Prerequisite: BIOL 252.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. A comprehensive review of the structure, taxonomy, evolution, and biological relationships of vertebrates. Two lectures and two two-hour laboratories. Prerequisites: BIOL 201/202. (Alternate years)
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. Principles and problems concerned with the physiochemical responses and functioning of animal tissues and organs. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory period. Prerequisites: BIOL 201/202, CHEM 310 or 315.
-
1.00 Credits
1 hour. Development of writing and interviewing skills critical in applying to graduate and professional schools, internships, and for employment. Students write and critique cover letters, resumes, essays and sample applications, take sample entrance examinations, interview a professional in a career of interest, and receive phone and face-to-face mock interviews with feedback on appropriate dress, mannerisms, and ability to respond to questions. Emphasis on professionalism.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. During this course you will learn what makes up the immune system, and how it works in keeping us healthy. We'll also take a look at some of the more complex issues surrounding the immune system such as vaccination, autoimmune disease and transplantation. Upon completion of the course you will be able to name and describe the cells and organs of the immune system, and understand the function of each. You will also be able to describe the normal processes of immunity, and regulatory controls, explain the results of immune component deficiencies and understand how normal immune function can cause disease. Prerequisite: BIOL 252; BIOL 302 recommended.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. This course examines the host-parasite interaction and the mechanisms by which microbes evade the host response and cause disease. The emphasis is on an understanding at the molecular level of microbial pathogenesis, including colonization, invasion, antigen variation, and toxin production and mode of action. Case-study and problem based exercises will support material presented in lecture and allow students an opportunity for inquiry based learning. Four hours per week, with one hour reserved for case-study discussion. Prerequisite: BIOL 252.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. A study of endocrinology from molecular to organismal levels. Emphasis is placed on categories of hormones and receptors, regulation of physiological responses, and mechanisms of endocrine dysfunction. Four lectures. Prerequisites: BIOL 201/202; BIOL 376 or BIOL 252 recommended.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. This course investigates modern evolutionary theory at the macro- and micro-evolutionary scale. Topics include historical perspectives, basic principles of evolution, mechanisms of evolution, genetics of populations, quantitative genetics and phylogenetics. 4 hours of lecture per week. Prerequisites BIOL 201/202; BIOL 365 recommended.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. Properties, biosynthetic pathways, and metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and nitrogenous compounds with related units on physical biochemistry, protein structure, bioenergetics and enzyme kinetics. Laboratories reinforce theoretical concepts and provide hands-on experience with modern biochemistry techniques and instrumentation. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory. Prerequisite: Either [BIOL 252 and CHEM 315/316] or [BIOL 202, (CHEM 343 or CEMS 235), and (CHEM 310 or CHEM 315)]. (Cross-listed as CHEM 420)
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. This course surveys the biochemistry of the gene, with an emphasis on protein/nucleic acid interactions. Topics include nucleic acid structure, regulation of DNA replication and transcription, post-transcriptional modification of RNA, recombinant DNA techniques, and genetic engineering methods. Three hours lecture and one three-hour laboratory. (Students who wish to take only one semester of Biochemistry should take BIOL/CHEM 420.) Prerequisite: C or better in BIOL 252; BIOL 372 recommended. (Cross-listed as CHEM 422)
