  • BIO 3059: Marine Biology

    4.00 Credits
    Manhattanville College

    This course will provide students with a foundation in several aspects of marine biology. It begins with a discussion of physical oceanography and then move quickly to biological aspects of marine biology. Topics will include estuarine ecology, plankton communities, benthic ecology, deep-sea biology, marine communities, and fisheries biology. The lab takes a natural history approach to marine biology by taking advantage of our unique location near Long Island Sound. Prerequisites: Principles of Biology I and II. ( Fall)

  • BIO 3060: Bioethics

    3.00 Credits
    Manhattanville College

    Starting with a good foundation in the ethical decision-making process, students will be able to identify and analyze pertinent ethical questions by understanding the relevant scientific concepts and applying their decision-making skills to dilemmas in the health and medical field, in research and biotechnology, and in the environmental arena. Through lectures, group discussions, role-playing, and case-based studies, issues such as organ transplantation, euthanasia, reproductive technologies, human genome project and genetic engineering, gene therapy, cloning, stem cell research, and bioenvironmental policies will be examined.

  • BIO 3065: Advanced Animal Behavior

    3.00 Credits
    Manhattanville College

    Why are dogs so social? What do chimps think when they see a puzzle? Do elephants really never forget? How and why do birds migrate seasonally, and what about those gaudy tail feathers? Is human behavior comparable in any way to animals? This course will use scientific methods to identify pattern and process in animal behavior, and discuss and evaluate basic ecological and evolutionary principles that shape behavior, to gain a better understanding of the way animals and humans interact with their environments and each other. Prerequisites: Principles of Biology I and II, Introduction to Animal Behavior is strongly recommended. ( Fall)

  • BIO 3070: Cell Culture Techniques

    4.00 Credits
    Manhattanville College

    This lecture/laboratory course will provide students with a solid understanding of basic sterile cell culture techniques through the growth and maintenance of both normal and transformed adherent and suspension cell in culture. Topics include primary and explant culture techniques, trypsinization and media supplementation, cell counting, determining viability and growth curves in plate and well cultures, single cell cloning, transfection technologies, fluorescent analysis, photomicrography, reporter assays, cryopreservation, cell cycle determinants and the induction of apoptosis. This course is strongly recommended for those students who plan to do cell or tissue work in cancer or neuroscience research for their senior project. Prerequisites: Principles of Biology I and II. Histology or Molecular Cell Biology is strongly recommended. ( Spring)

  • BIO 3099: Research Seminar

    2.00 Credits
    Manhattanville College

    This seminar course is designed to introduce the student to scientific research problems and to aid critical problem-solving skills through reading and writing in a scientific field of interest. It focuses on literature research, elements of experimental design, testing a hypothesis, analysis of data, reading and writing journal articles, and the use of computers for writing, graphics, and presentation. By the end of the semester, the student will have completed an extended protocol and have established a working literature base for their senior project. This course should be taken in the spring semester of the junior year (or in the third from the last semester for accelerated programs). Prerequisites: Principles of Biology I and II, Principles of Chemistry I and II. ( Spring)
