3.00 Credits
This course includes an introduction to light microscopy (phase, differential interference contrast, brightfield, darkfield, and fluorescence microscopy), transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. It covers specimen preparation (fixation, embedding, sectioning), photomicroscopy and darkroom techniques (film developing and printing), in addition to image analysis, enhancement and interpretation. Students are required to do a project outside of class hours. Lecture and laboratory.
-
3.00 Credits
A course providing the fundamentals to the rapidly growing field of microbial genetics. Emphasis is on gene structure and function. Areas to be discussed are DNA replication, transcription, translation, control of gene expression, transformation, conjugation, transduction, genetic fine structure and colinearity, mapping methods, mutation, DNA repair, plasmids and their properties. Genetic engineering, gene cloning and in vitro recombination are described. Prerequisite: a course in Microbiology. Lecture.
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides a broad hands-on introduction to contemporary techniques in molecular biology. Manipulation of cloned DNA using restriction endonucleases, ligases, and phosphatases will be carried out. Molecular cloning using both plasmid and bateriophage vectors will be done. Nucleotide sequencing and sequence analysis will be discussed. The student will carry out a nucleic acid hybridization in the form of a Southern blot. Cloned DNA will be transposon mutagenized. Analysis of cloned DNA using a reporter gene will be carried out. DNA amplification using the Polymerase Chain reaction will be done.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide those students looking for careers in the life science industry with a fundamental knowledge of the commercial aspects of biotechnology and the charecteristics of life sciences companies. Students completing the course will be expected to: Understand those industries which make up bio- technology Recognize the fundamental differnces between basic research and commercial R & D Understand the importance of intellectual property, the process of IP protection, and be able to distinguish potentially valuable innovations Be familiar with the concepts of regulatory compliance and quality control as they apply to the life science industry Be introduced to the concepts of finance and marketing of biotechnology products Undeerstand the basic issues related to operations and manufacturing Be acquainted with the differences between entrepreneurial and established bioltechnology firms and the issues related to careers in each.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to train students seeking careers in biotechnology R&D including:group leader, laboratory manager or project manager. The subject material will cover the mechanics of project management, team management and budgeting. Fundamentals of team formation, structure and direction will be examined along with the issues of communication and motivation within the biotech industry. Students completing the course will be expected to: Define a project and develop project tasks. Be familiar with tools used in R&D management. Understand the importence of teams and external resources in projects including the effective management of meetings. Develop a project budget and understand financial concepts such as return on investment. Understand the principles of both protection and use of intellectual property and documentation including in-licensing Be familiar with the details of regulatory compliance as it relates to laboratory development including FDS, OSHA, EPA, DOT etc. Be familiar with product transfer and manufacturing documentation. Understand the principles of quality assurance and quality control as it applies to product development and laboratory management Be able to effectively communicate project goals, status, and issues to both technical and non- technical personnel.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
This course is designed for students in the graduate program leading to a Master of Science in Biotechnology. The students will be required to meet with faculty to define an agreed upon study topic in either basic or applied biotechnology. The student will be expected to complete an extensive literature survey of the selected topic and develop a scholarly document which uses the literature to demonstrate an exemplary understanding of both the topic and its relation to the field of Biotechnology.
-
3.00 Credits
The study of the progression through time and space from a single cell, the fertilized egg, to a complex multicellular organism. The powerful tools of molecular and cellular biology have linked the fields of embryology, morphology, genetics, and evolutionary biology to reveal how cells, tissues, organs, and organisms develop. This course explores the processes of morphogenesis, differentiation, pattern formation, growth, and reproduction at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels to provide a current overview of development in a wide variety of organisms. Lecture.
-
3.00 Credits
Examination of the molecular and cellular mechanisms of mammalian body function, including consideration of the basic components of biological control systems and the manner in which various tissues and organ systems contribute toward the maintenance of physiological homeostasis in health and disease. Lecture.
-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses on the diversity of physiological mechanisms that different animals employ, including the high level of physiological and biochemical adaptation and specialization found in animals that live in diverse and challenging environments, or that possess other exceptional physiological abilities.
