-
3.00 Credits
Animal behavior will be examined from an evolutionary perspective. Social organization, mating, foraging/hunting, and anti-predatory behaviors will be studied in several species.
-
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, hypersensitivity, and immunopathology.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a study of the molecular biology of animal viruses. Major emphasis is placed on virus structure and morphology, virus replication and interaction with the host cell, and molecular genetics.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of the infectious agents of human disease with emphasis on host-parasite relationships, unique aspects of bacterial activities and organization, metabolism, regulation and genetics which contribute to pathogenicity, including identification of bacteria and principles of prevention, treatment, and laboratory diagnosis.
-
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.
-
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 organelle 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.
-
4.00 Credits
This combined laboratory and lecture course examines the biology underlying the most common genetic marker systems used in the forensic community. The basics of population genetics and DNA analysis methodologies will be covered, including the CODIS database. Techniques include extraction protocols, amplication of DNA, methods for labeling DNA, and ultimately the construction of a genetic profile using an ABI 3100 Avant Genetic Analyzer. Mitochondrial DNA, the Y-chromosome, and Amelogenin, the most commonly used gender identification locus, will also be experimentally explored. Prerequisites: BIOL 468 and permission of the instructor if not in Forensic track. Laboratory and 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.
-
3.00 Credits
A systematic coverage of medical microbiology and its role in clinical medicine. Emphasis is based on current concepts of infectious disease and microbial genetics as it pertains to pathogenicity. Special attention is given to host-parasite interactions and to the interpretation and significance of laboratory findings in the diagnosis and treatment of human microbial disease. Lecture.
-
3.00 Credits
This course emphasizes comparative development, functional anatomy and macroevolution of vertebrate body plans. Topics include the diversity and phylogenetic history of fossil and local forms, development and comparative embryology of each organ system, and comparative functional anatomy of the major clades of living vertebrates within an evolutionary framework. Lecture and Laboratory.
