  • 1001-395: Ethical Issues in Medicine and Biology

    3.00 Credits
    Rochester Institute of Technology

    Students will explore major ethical issues in medicine and biology via lecture, readings, fi lms, and presentation and discussion of cases. Students will also be encouraged to report on current events in ethics as researched via the library computer search facilities and the internet. The fi rst two weeks of the course will be lecture. Students will learn about various theories of ethical analysis that are in current use. Subsequent classes will be devoted to particular ethical areas. Relevant cases will be given to the students for presentation, any additional background material that may be required to discuss the cases will be presented by the instructor, and the remainder of the period will be taken up with discussion based on the philosophical foundation provided at the beginning of the course. (Second-year or above) Class 3, Credit 3 (W)

  • 1001-401: Management of an Industrial Laboratory

    2.00 Credits
    Rochester Institute of Technology

    This course will develop familiarity and provide experience with the government regulations and forms used to govern operations in industrial laboratories. This will be accomplished by: writing standard operating procedures (SOPs) for general laboratory instrument operation; monitoring the control values of lab instrumentation and maintaining control charts on the equipment throughout the term; teaching the operation of the instruments to other students; verifying training by maintaining training records; and writing an SOP for a defi ned process using the tools available in the laboratory.

  • 1001-403: Cell Physiology

    3.00 Credits
    Rochester Institute of Technology

    A study of functional eukaryotic cellular physiology with an emphasis on the role of global gene expression in cellular function and disease. Nuclear and cytoplasmic regulation of macromolecular synthesis, regulation of cellular metabolism, control of cell growth, and the changes in cell physiology in disease are covered. Lectures will also cover the scientifi c technology for studying changes in gene expression associated with cell differentiation and disease. In the associated laboratory students will learn the experimental techniques to do a microarray experiment. Students will design and carry out an experiment to acquire gene expression data, learn how to analyze their acquired data using simple computer programs (MAGIC), and write a research paper explaining their fi ndings.

  • 1001-404: Introduction to Microbiology

    4.00 Credits
    Rochester Institute of Technology

    An introduction to microorganisms and their importance. Principles of structure and function, metabolic diversity, taxonomy, environmental microbiology, bioremediation and infectious diseases of bacteria are discussed. Basic laboratory techniques: microscopy; staining, culturing, isolation and identifi cation of bacteria; isolation and identifi cation of normal fl ora; antibiotic resistance; metabolic tests; detection and counting of bacteria in environmental samples (foods, water, soils). (1001-253, 1001-311 required; 1013-233, 235 strongly recommended) Class 3, Lab 4, Credit 5 (F, S)

  • 1001-405: Plants,Medicine,and Technology

    4.00 Credits
    Rochester Institute of Technology

    Plants have played a signifi cant role in the shaping of our world from the beginning to the present day. This course will explore our utilization of plants as food, fuels, materials, medicines, gene sources, and social aspects over time in different cultures. The world depends on about fi fteen plant species most of which have been changed by plant improvement methods. We will explore the changes that have occurred in these important crops. This course will be a blend of the uses of plants and plant constituents in medicine and how technology is used to produce, purify, and provide the plant produced constituents.
