3.00 Credits
A study of cell structure and function, with an emphasis on eukaryotic structures. Topics will include membranes, organelles, the cytoskeleton, cell signaling, the cell cycle, and cancer. Key experiments will be discussed. Three hours of lecture a week. Prerequisites: BIO 101, 102 and CHM 109,110 or equivalent. 3 credits. S
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the principles of toxicology that pertain to human health and the environment. Course content will include a survey of toxic chemicals, health effects of toxic agents, principles of absorption and the chemical and biological factors that affect toxicity. Applied disciplines of toxicology, such as ecotoxicology, mutagenesis, reproductive and developmental toxicology will also be discussed. Prerequisites: BIO 101, 102, CHM 217, 218. 3 credits. F

3.00 Credits
This course introduces the student to the basic and applied science of pharmacology. The course includes an investigation of the basic principles of pharmacology with emphasis on mechanism of drug action and its effects on human biochemistry and physiology. It will examine a few example systems and focus on specific drugs that affect the central nervous, endocrine, and cardiovascular systems, in addition to chemotherapeutic agents and those used to combat a cause of disease, obesity. Finally, drug design and development, as used by the pharmaceutical industry, will be covered in this course. As part of this course, students are required to give an oral presentation on the pharmacology of a drug of choice. Prerequisite: CHM 210. 3 credits. AYS
-
4.00 Credits
A laboratory course devoted to the study of the biochemistry and physiology of living systems. Utilizes the methods of spectrophotometry, chromatography, polarimetry, electrophoresis, radioisotope methodology and other modern techniques. Four hours of laboratory a week. Same course as CHM 420. Corequisite: BIO 421. 2 credits. F
-
2.00 Credits
An examination of the physical and chemical processes involved in the maintenance and function of the vertebrate organism. The integrated organism is studied through its principal physiological activities: acquisition and use of nutrients, energetics, movement, coordination through neural and hormonal mechanisms, homeostasis, reproduction. Two hours of lecture and four hours of laboratory a week. Prerequisites or corequisites: BIO 413 or 421. 4 credits. F
-
2.00 Credits
A detailed description of the role of microorganisms in environmental phenomena. Included will be a discussion of the marine, freshwater and terrestial environment. Special emphasis will be placed on algae and bacteria. Two hours of lecture and four hours of laboratory a week. Prerequisites: BIO 314, 316. 4 credits. S
-
3.00 Credits
Open to a limited number of selected students evaluated in consonance with their qualifications and research interests. Either semester or both. Prerequisites: BIO 211, 316, permission of department chair. 2 credits each semester. FS
-
3.00 Credits
This course will present the basic principles of classical and molecular genetics and their application to humans. In keeping with current trends in genetic research, the course will focus on the biomedical application of genetics. The biological and biochemical basis of human genetic traits, both normal and pathological, will be discussed. In addition, selected issues of current interest will be covered, such as genetic engineering, the genetics of cancer, the human genome project, and ethical issues raised by current progress in biomedical genetics. Prerequisites: BIO 211 and BIO 399. 3 credits. F
-
3.00 Credits
Student participation in an off-campus, supervised work experience related to biology with regular reporting to an assigned faculty member. Written and oral reports relating this work experience to the student's course of studies will be submitted. Prerequisite: Permission of department chair. 3 credits each semester. FS
-
2.00 Credits
An introduction to biological literature with reports on recent topics and advances in research. The survey and integration of courses will be emphasized. One meeting per week for one semester. Required of senior biology majors. 2 credits. FS
