3.00 Credits
GER 3/B Control of cell division examined in the context of cancer, which is the loss of this control. Topics include: cell culture, the cell cycle, hormones, receptors, intracellular signal transduction, oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes and the etiology of human cancer. prereq: BIOL 202, 300, or perm instr. 3 hrs (lec), 3 cr. spring alternate years
-
3.50 Credits
GER 3/B Study of the immune system from a molecular perspective. Molecular genetics of antibody and T cell receptor diversity, hematopoiesis and lymphocyte development, humoral and cellular immunity, histocompatibility. pre- or coreq: BIOL 300, perm instr. 4 hrs (3 lec, 1 disc), 3.5 cr. fall only
-
3.00 Credits
GER 3/B A comprehensive introduction to neuroscience. Topics include how nerve cells (neurons) transmit electrical impulses, how neurons communicate with each other through synapses and how nerve pathways and networks determine many functions of the brain. The last portion of the course shall explore how developing neurons seek out targets and establish synapses. prereq: BIOL 300 or perm instr. 4 hrs (lec), 4 cr. spring only
-
3.00 Credits
GER 3/B An overview of the various methods and kinds of data used in systematics, the study of organism diversity and biological relationships. Emphasis is on modern molecular and genetic approaches to identification of individual species and strains and full phylogenetic analyses of suites of species to determine their evolutionary history. The knowledge base is provided for experimental investigation of questions of current interest in phylogeny and population biology. prereq: BIOL 300 or perm instr. 3 hrs, 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
GER 3/B Cellular organization of the endocrine system; molecular mechanisms of hormone action; hormonal physiology of metabolism and reproduction; integration of endocrine responses by the central nervous system. prereq: BIOL 202 or perm instr. 3 hrs (lec), 3 cr. spring only
-
3.00 Credits
GER 3/B Molecular components and molecular mechanisms involved in the cell biology of neurons and glia, neuronal signaling, neuronal development, learning, memory and diseases of the nervous system. prereq: BIOL 300 or perm instr. 3 lec hrs, 3 cr. fall alternate years
-
3.00 Credits
GER 3/B Applications of light and electron microscopy to study of cell structure and function. Lab projects utilize thin sectioning, negative staining, scanning, darkroom printing, digital imaging and other techniques. pre- or coreq: BIOL 300 or BIOL 202 and perm instr. 5 hrs (1 lec/demo, 4 lab), 3 cr. fall only
-
3.00 Credits
GER 3/B Advanced laboratory techniques used in contemporary biological research, including areas such as immunology, microbiology and molecular neurobiology. Topics change from term to term. prereq: BIOL 300 or perm instr. 4 hrs (lab), 2 cr.
-
4.00 Credits
GER 3/B A series of laboratory-intensive experimental projects, each lasting one week or more, which introduce current research techniques and include individual participation in planning and preparation of experiments. The focus is on a broad biotechnology topic such as the isolation, cloning and expression of a gene, utilizing the techniques of molecular genetics. This course satisfies the research requirement for graduation with departmental honors and is a component of the interdisciplinary BS/MA (MLS/Biol) program in biotechnology. prereqs: BIOL 200, 202, perm instr. 30 hrs/week for 4 weeks, 4 cr.
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
GER 3/B May be taken only once. Research paper written under the direction of a full-time faculty member in department of biological sciences. prereqs: 18 cr in biology, approval of adviser in addition to the sponsor 1-2 cr.
