3.00 Credits
This course introduces the students to the study of pharmacology by surveying diseases of various body systems and the drugs being developed to treat them. Topics include basic pharmacological principles, classification of drugs used to treat human disease and their mechanisms of action and accompanying side effects. The revolutionary impact of developments in molecular genetics, genomics, and proteomics will be emphasized. Prerequisites: Permission of the instructor 3 credits
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces principles of bioethics and how they are applied in the analysis of modern advances in medical, biological and environmental science. The course explores the roots of bioethics, and how history, laws, traditions, business and politics have influenced modern bioethics. Modern bioethical principles will be studied in relation to the beginning of life, the end of life, genetic technology and eugenics, biotechnology, patients' rights, animal rights, research methods, and environmental issues. Lecture only. Prerequisite: One biology course and upper junior or senior status, or permission of the instructor 3 credits Biology 259
-
3.00 Credits
Restricted to senior biology majors. The course requires each student to do an in-depth study of a selected topic with an evolutionary theme. The work requires library research and preparation of both a written and an oral presentation of that work, including details of research procedures where applicable. Students are expected to read and discuss each other's presentations. Prerequisites: Seven courses in biology and permission of the department chairperson 2 credits
-
3.00 Credits
Theory and functioning of the scanning electron microscope. Each student is required to carry out a project. Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor 4 credits
-
3.00 Credits
The principles and practice of transmission electron microscopy, including theory, electron optics, specimen preparation, operation of electron microscope, photography, related instruments, and techniques. Prerequisites: Two years of biology, one year of chemistry, and permission of the instructor 4 credits
-

Student studies a particular field of biology under the personal direction of a faculty member. Prerequisite: Permission of the department chairperson 1-3 credits
-
3.00 Credits
A supervised educational experience outside of the regular departmental program. Pass/fail course. Prerequisites: Permission of the department chairperson 1-3 credits
-
3.00 Credits
Individual research projects under the direction of a faculty member. Prerequisite: Permission of the department chairperson and college dean 1-3 credits
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to molecular biology with emphasis on nucleic acid structure and function, and the application of gene splicing. Ethical issues associated with genetic engineering are explored. The course is team taught by members of the biotechnology faculty, each of whom brings his/her own expertise to this basic course. Lecture only. For biotechnology majors. Open to biology M.A. and biotechnology B.S./M.S. students. Prerequisite: permission of the graduate coordinator 3 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Techniques of DNA purification and quantification. Students analyze DNA by Southern transfer, prepare plasmid and phage vectors, and clone sequences into those vectors. Antibiotic selection, filter screening, and hybridization analysis of cloned libraries are performed. Related topics include prokaryotic and eukaryotic gene structure, choice and construction of vectors, and applications of genetic engineering. Lecture and lab. For biotechnology majors. Prerequisite: Matriculation in biotechnology M.S. or B.S. program or permission of the instructor 4 credits
