3.00 Credits
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)

2.00 Credits
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. Class 2, Lab 2, Credit 2 (W)
-
3.00 Credits
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. (1001-350) Class 3, Lab 3, Credit 4 (F)
-
4.00 Credits
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)
-
4.00 Credits
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. (Third-year status in the College of Science or consent of instructor) Class 4, Credit 4 (F)
-
4.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to virology with specific emphasis on the molecular mechanisms of virus infection of eukaryotic cells and virus-cell interactions. Virus structure, genetics, the infectious cycle, replication strategies, pathogenesis, persistence, effects on host macromolecular synthesis, viral oncogenesis, viral vectors, emerging viral diseases, and strategies to protect against and combat viral infection will be discussed. (1001-350, 1001-421) Class 4, Credit 4 (W)
-
6.00 Credits
A comparative study of organ systems of representative members of the vertebrates with emphasis on structural changes that occur during evolution. (1001-302 or 1001-365, or permission of instructor) Class 3, Lab 6, Credit 5 (S)
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides a detailed exploration of the microscopic and structural anatomy of normal human tissues and organs, with special emphasis given to the relationships between the cellular architecture of human organs and organ systems and their functions. The course also examines human disease as manifested by alterations in histological features. (1026-350, 360 or equivalent recommended) Class 3, Lab 3, Credit 4 (S)
-
3.00 Credits
A comparative study of fundamental physiological mechanisms. A broad range of organisms are studied from the standpoint of evolution of functional systems, the mechanisms and morphological variations that exist to deal with functional problems posed by the environment, and the special mechanisms used to cope with extreme environments. (One year of general biology or 1001-253, and 1001-365) Class 3, Lab 3, Credit 4 (W)
-
4.00 Credits
The course will investigate fundamental aspects of plant tissue culture and manipulation, the genetic transformation of plant cells, and the construction, characterization and application of transgenic plants to agriculture, plant molecular biology and novel product development. The laboratory will provide experiences to complement the lecture information in plant cell culture and in the use of Agrobacterium as the gene shuttle to introduce genetic information into plants. (1001-311, 1001-350, 1001-404) Class 3, Lab 4, Credit 5 (W)
