  • BIO 495: Molecular Biology Seminar

    4.00 Credits
    Albright College

    This course explores several different aspects of molecular biology, with an emphasis on plant molecular biology, and plant genetic engineering through the use of soil bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The genetic components of tumor-inducing plasmids of Agrobacterium and methods to engineer this plasmid to deliver genes of interest into a plant are described. Strategies to increase and control gene expression in genetically engineered plants are outlined, along with antibody production in transgenic plants, pathogen-derived resistance, virus resistance in plants, strategies for gene isolation and phytoremediation. An overview of immunology will be presented and human gene therapy is discussed along with issues of risk assessment, genetic containment and safety. Offered fall semester.

  • BIO 496: Scientific and Biomedical Imaging

    2.00 Credits
    Albright College

    An overview of the use of imaging technologies in scientific data acquisition, medical diagnostics and communication. The seminar reviews the use of imaging from early microscopes, radiology, and photography to the current range of technologies from ultrastructural studies to modern medical imaging techniques, remote sensing, digital imaging and image processing. Laboratories use equipment available at Albright, including both scanning and transmission electron microscopes and provide opportunities to explore other facilities in the immediate area. Students are responsible for oral and written presentations, as well as an independent study project. The course involves three class sessions and a two-hour laboratory per week, plus additional laboratory work by arrangement. Offered spring semester.

  • BIO 497: Behavioral Ecology Seminar

    4.00 Credits
    Albright College

    The behavior of animals within their natural environments is addressed, including strong emphasis on the relationships between animal behavior, ecology and evolution of various vertebrate and invertebrate taxa. Primary areas of interest include foraging behavior, mating systems, parental care, sociality, fighting and assessment, cooperation, game theory, communication, and dispersal/migratory behavior. An overview of behavioral ecology is presented in lecture format, while specific areas are explored through student presentations of readings from the current literature in the field. Students will also design, develop and present a research proposal. Offered fall semester of evenyears. Prerequisite: BIO 202 and either BIO 311 or BIO 342

  • CHE 105: General Analytical Chemistry I

    3.00 Credits
    Albright College

    An intensive study of the main concepts of chemistry, this course covers qualitative and quantitative descriptions of matter and reactivity. The description of atter includes the atomic and subatomic scale (atomic structure, bonding, geometry, and intermolecular forces) and the macroscopic scale (phases of matter and solutions). Reactivity topics include basic patterns of reactivity, reaction stoichiometry and thermochemistry. Both conceptual learning and quantitative problem solving are emphasized. The laboratory program involves inorganic synthesis and qualitative analysis. Designed for the student who plans to concentrate in chemistry, biochemistry, biology or a related field. Facility with algebra is assumed. Three hours lecture, four hours laboratory and one hour recitation per week.
