3.00 Credits
A course in the fundamental mechanisms of the immune system with applications in basic research, medicine and public health. Topics include the mechanisms of induction, regulation, and expression of the cellular and humoral immune responses, immunochemistry, antigen-antibody reactions, immunogenetics, immunopathologies, and immunodeficiencies. Prerequisite: C or better in BIOL 212. Lecture.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of the infectious agents of human disease with emphasis on host-parasite relationships, unique aspects of microbial activities and organization, metabolism, regulation and genetics which contribute to pathogenicity, including identification, and principles of prevention, treatment, and laboratory diagnosis. Prerequisite: C or better in BIOL 212. Lecture.
-
3.00 Credits
In this course the interaction of microorganisms, primarily prokaryotes, with each other, plants, animals, and fungi, and the environment is explored. The course takes a systematic approach, examining these interactions at the ecosystem, organismal, subcellular, and historical level. Topics include microbial primary production and photosynthesis, biogeochemical cycling, the structure of microbial communities, modeling, symbiosis, and microbial evolution. Prerequisite: C or better in BIOL 212, BIOL 319, and CHEM 212 or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses on bacterial structure and function. Topics covered include mechanisms of protein secretion, structure, and synthesis of the cell envelope, and examination of the organelles associated with motility. The role of the features examined in terms of bacterial pathogenesis will be emphasized. Energy metabolism including chemoorganotrophy, chemolithotrophy, and phototrophy will also be covered. Prerequisites: C or better in BIOL 212 and organic chemistry or permission of the instructor. Lecture.
-
3.00 Credits
This course takes an in-depth look at microbial biogeochemical cycling and the application of microbial processes (both prokaryotic and eukaryotic) for biotechnology and bioremediation. Topics include biogeochemistry, the design and application of genetically engineered microbes (GEMS), natural attenuation, fermentation, and water treatment, in addition to current issues in environmental science. Prerequisites: C or better in BIOL 212, BIOL 319 and CHEM 212 or 212H or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides an overview of man's impact on the environment. Basic ecological principles are examined in the context of man's interaction with the biosphere. The ecological effects of pollution and other man-made disturbances are described. Topics include: principles pertaining to ecosystems, communities and populations; biogeochemical cycles; sources of pollution; effects of pollutants on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems; deforestation; loss of species richness; biomarkers; and bioremediation. This course is appropriate for science majors and for non-majors with a strong science background. Prerequisites: consent of instructor. Lecture.

3.00 Credits
The course provides an overview of life and the environment. Basic biological principles are examined in the context of the impact humans have on the biosphere. Topics include:ecological principles at the population, community and ecosystems levels; climate; biogeochemical cycles; human population growth; sources and effects of pollution; deforestation and habitat loss; loss of species richness; extinction; global warming; disease; biomarkers; biotechnology; and bio- remediation. The course is appropriate for science majors and for nonmajors with a strong science background. Prerequisites: BIOL 111/112 or consent of instructor. Lecture.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an in-depth examination of plant biochemistry, physiology genetics, and development - a merger of basic biology, molecular biology, and biotechnology. Emphasis in placed upon linking basic plant systems to current research problems and developments in biotechnology and genomics. Typical topics will include applications of plant molecular biology to understand cellular structure and function, ecological physiology, genomics, developmental genetics, plant/pathogen relationships, and the production of gentically-modified organisms for biotechnology. The course will also discuss the issue of plant biology as it pertains to world economics and food production. Prerequisites: BIOL 250, 468, CHEM 401 or 402. Lecture.
-
3.00 Credits
This course offers a broad overview of mammalian reproductive physiology. The major emphasis will be on human/primate biology, but other mammalian species will be included for comparison. The application of modern techniques of cellular and molecular biology to answer central questions of reproductive physiology will be explored in more detail. Prerequisite: BIOL 315 or BIOL 316 or comparable and permission of the instructor. Lecture.
-
3.00 Credits
This advanced integrative physiology course investigates the role of the endocrine system in coordination and regulation of body activities. Topics include homeostasis, reflex arcs, hormone synthesis, hormone action and signal transduction, hypothalamic/pituitary axis, regulation of salt, mineral and water balances, regulation of energy metabolism, reproduction, growth and development. This course is appropriate for Biology and Biochemistry majors interested in Physiology, as well as for pre-health professions students. Prerequiste: C or better in BIOL 212, Lecture.
