3.00 Credits
This applied, introductory course considers basic principles of human nutrition that are operative in health and disease. Students study the major food groups including the carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, and minerals, how they relate to physiological processes in the body and the consequences of dietary deficiencies. Other topics include diabetes, osteoporosis. Students complete a dietary analysis using software assessment tools for monitoring personal diet and health goals. Prerequisite: BIO 101, earning a 'C-' or higher. Three hours lecture. Offered spring. 3 credits
-
4.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the principles of Mendelian and molecular genetics including chromosomal mechanics and karyotypic analysis and mutagenesis. Gene function and replication are explored in detail. Students work in small groups and complete a research project focused on genetically-based human disease that culminates in the presentation of their research to the class in a mini-lecture at the end of the semester and preparation of a poster that is presented at Cabrini's annual Arts, Research and Scholarship Symposium. In the laboratory students develop techniques involving cell fractionation, DNA isolation, karyotyping, DNA fingerprinting using PCR and agarose gel electrophoresis, analysis of nucleosome structure and the study of mitosis and meiosis using representative plant and animal species. Statistical methodology is also introduced. Prerequisite: BIO 102, earning a 'C-' or higher. Three hours lecture, three hours lab. Lab fee. Offered fall. 4 credits

4.00 Credits
This course covers cell physiology with emphasis on biological membrane structure and transport mechanisms, tissue physiology with emphasis on nerve and muscle, and organ/systems physiology including the gastrointestinal, renal, respiratory, cardiovascular, and reproductive systems. Seminars, where students discuss current research articles and case studies, provide insight to the current state of physiological research, pathophysiological conditions and medical advancements. Laboratory emphasizes demonstrating the basic principles of systems physiology, in humans and other vertebrate animals, using classical and modern techniques. Prerequisite: BIO 206. Six hours integrated lecture/lab. Lab fee. Students may not receive credit for BIO 230-231 and BIO 301. Offered spring, alternate years. 4 credits

1.00 - 5.00 Credits
This course includes morphological and physiological considerations of common pathogenic and non-pathogenic microbes and the fundamentals of their nutrition, growth, metabolism and control. Topics include epidemiology, virulence factors, transmission of infectious diseases, antibiotic agents and and resistance, innate and acquired immunity, classical and alternative pathways of complement activation, and diagnostic methods. Laboratory topics include standard and specialized staining techniques, media preparation, culturing techniques, antibiotic sensitivity assay, immunological techniques, flow cytometry, and identi?cation of two unknown specimens. Prerequisites: BIO 101 and CHE 111, earning a 'C-' or higher in both courses. (Note: Beginning in Fall 2015, the prerequisites for BIO 308 will change to require BIO 102 - C- or higher - and CHE 112.) Three hours lecture, three hours lab. Lab fee. Offered fall. 4 credits

This course focuses on how biotechnology is revolutionizing medicine, agriculture and the biochemical, pharmaceutical, environmental and food industries. Specific topics such as recombinant DNA technology, plant genetic engineering, bioremediation, gene therapy, forensic DNA analysis are discussed. Projects in lab include protein purification, eukaryotic cell transfection, cell culture, fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry techniques. Students use computer software for analysis of flow cytometry data and learn how to read, review and critique journal articles. Prerequisites: CHE 112, earning a 'C-' or higher, BIO 263. BIO 206 is a pre- or co-requisite. Three hours lecture, three hours lab. Lab fee. Offered spring, alternate years. 4 credits

This course is the precursor to the capstone project for biology and chemistry majors which should be taken in the spring semester of their junior year. Students explore career aspects in the science by creating their own resume, researching a career topic of their choice and also hearing presentations/seminars from esteemed science professionals from the area. Prerequisite: Bio 262 or Che 211. One hour lecture. Offered spring. 1 credit.
