3.00 Credits
Open to all students, this class introduces the basic, fundamental structure and pathogenesis of viruses, along with methods to control them. The viral classification, genome structure and their molecular structure are reviewed. The principles of host defense and viral offense are discussed. In addition, the principles of emerging viral infection and several important viral diseases, such as AIDS, SARS, Bird Flu, etc. are introduced. The origins of these diseases and the developing treatment are also thoroughly discussed. ( Spring '08)

3.00 Credits
The goal of this course is to introduce the fundamental concepts of ecology within the context of freshwater and marine ecosystems and is open to all students. An introduction to the aquatic environment and the species that inhabit these environments will initiate the course. Topics will include community structure, food chains and webs, bioenergetics, nutrient cycles, diversity and species competition. Local areas such as the Hudson River Watershed, the Long Island estuary, and the Great Lakes will be examined. The African Lakes, Amazon Basin, Caribbean Sea and other specific areas will also be discussed. Students will investigate a specific aquatic ecosystem of their choice for their research paper, and will have the opportunity for some "hands-on" experience with localecosystems. ( Spring '08)

4.00 Credits
This course studies the microscopic anatomy of animal tissues and organs as elucidated by brightfield and electron microscopy and correlates these cellular interactions with function. The laboratory encompasses a broad range of cytological and microtechnique procedures. Prerequisites: Principles of Biology I and II. ( Fall)
-
4.00 Credits
Examination of principles underlying growth and development of organisms, from fertilization to embryonic organization and tissue differentiation. Descriptive morphology of vertebrate and invertebrate developmental sequences will be compared with special emphasis on genetic control and coordination of development, timing of gene expression, and biochemical signals. Laboratory study will emphasize descriptive morphology of vertebrate embryology, but will include classical demonstrations of invertebrate development and an experimental component. Prerequisites: Principles of Biology I and II, Principles of Chemistry I and II. Organic Chemistry I and II are recommended. ( Spring '07, '09)
-
4.00 Credits
This first course of a two-course series introduces various processes and activities of the human body. Subject matter includes physical and chemical properties of life, cell membrane theory, organization of tissues, skeletal and muscular systems, nervous system organization and control, and special senses. Laboratory work includes systematic coverage of human anatomy, cat dissections, and relevant physiological experiments. Students may take this class as one of their required laboratory classes, but need to take both Bio 3007 and Bio 3017 to fulfill graduate and medical school prerequisites. Prerequisites: Principles of Biology I and II, Principles of Chemistry I and II. ( Fall)
-
3.00 Credits
For upper level students, this course will cover quantitative methods used in biological investigation. Students will learn how statistics are used in biology, and how data are collected, summarized, and analyzed. Topics will include an introduction to descriptive statistics, basic probability, and differences between parametric and non-parametric tests. Various statistical methods will be covered, including ANOVA, regression analysis, correlation coefficients, as well as X2 and frequency distributions. Prerequisites: Principles of Biology I and II. (Spring)
-
4.00 Credits
This is an introduction to the morphology and physiology of bacteria and other microorganisms. Laboratory exercises will afford students the opportunity to develop skills in various practices designed to study the morphology, physiology and practical value of nonpathogenic microorganisms, including sterile technique. Prerequisites: Principles of Biology I and II, Principles of Chemistry I and II. ( Spring)
-
3.00 Credits
This one-semester lecture course focuses on the structure and function of biomolecules including enzymology, bioenergetics, and intermediary metabolism. Prerequisites: Principles of Biology I and II, Principles of Chemistry I and II, and Organic Chemistry I and II. ( Fall)
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of BIO 3007, and will explore the remaining systems of the body. Subject matter includes the cardiovascular system and blood, endocrine system, lymphatic system and immune defenses, respiration, digestion and metabolism, urinary system and reproduction. As with the first course, laboratory work includes systematic coverage of human anatomy, cat dissections, and relevant physiological experiments. Prerequisite: Human Anatomy and Physiology I. (Spring)
-
4.00 Credits
Invertebrate Zoology is the study of all animals not possessing a backbone - which is about 99% of all identified animal species! This course will focus on the phylogeny, anatomy, physiology and life strategies of various invertebrate phyla from the Protozoa to the Porifera, Platyhelminthes, Annelids, Molluscs, Arthropods, and Echinoderms. Laboratory material will supplement lecture material, and there will be numerous dissections and comparative analysis throughout the course. Prerequisites: Principles of Biology I and II. ( Spring '08)
