3.00 Credits
This advanced cell biology course addresses the question of how the messages from various chemical signaling molecules are transduced into biological responses. Topics include: modes of cell communication, types of chemical signals, steroid hormone action, tranduction by cell-surface receptor proteins, channel- linked receptors, G-protein-linked receptors, catalytic receptors, second messengers, cAMP, calcium, calmodulin, inositol trisphosphate pathway, diacylglycerol pathway, protein kinases and growth factors.

3.00 Credits
This lab course sequence is designed to provide students with a multidisciplinary lab that reflects the integration among different disciplines in the broad areas of cellular and molecular biology. The first semester emphasizes techniques and approaches in the molecular, biochemical, and cellular biology of organismsm from bacteria to mammals. Included are an introduction to research skills (i.e. computer use, library resources), characterizations and manipulations of cellular macromolecules including proteins and nucleic acids, and microscopy. Laboratory.

3.00 Credits
The second semester continues to build on BIOL 570 through investigative labs in cellular and molecular biology (i.e. experimental embryology, genetic mapping, constructing transgenic organisms) and includes a capstone lab mini-project for the last portion of the semester. Laboratory.
-
3.00 Credits
The second semester continues to build on BIOL 570 through investigative labs in cardiovascular/respiratory physiology, muscle and neurophysiology, and endocrinology. Experiments in many cases employ MacLab hardware and Apple Macintosh computers for data acquisition. The course is laboratory project based. Laboratory.

3.00 Credits
The second semester continues to build on BIOL 570 through investigative labs in microbial physiology, ecology and genetics. This laboratory also examines cell culture, virology and immunological techniques used in microbiology and virology. Laboratory.
-
1.00 Credits
In this course, students consider the ethical issues such as fraud in science, bias in interpretation, the use of animals in research, the use of human embryos, human cells, genetic engineering and therapy, protection of human subjects and patient care. This course will also discuss ethical issues found in commercial R&D including technology ownership, use of intel- lectual property, confidentiality, and business ethics. Weekly discussions are led by various professionals in the medical, scientific and ethics fields.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of the properties of neurons including excitation, conduction, transmission and integration, as well as sensory mechanisms, neural processing, and behavior using vertebrate and invertebrate examples. Lecture.
-
3.00 Credits
This combined graduate level laboratory and lecture class is a pre-requisite for DNA Methods & Population Genetics (BIOL 530W), and is a required course for the Forensic Science and Law Program. This course was designed to help students develop a number of practical skills and perform techniques routinely used in modern biological research. This course covers the major protein and immunochemistry techniques and assays as well as recombinant DNA techniques. The evolution of these techniques and their relevance to the forensic community will be emphasized. Although this class is designed for FSL students, non-FSL students may register with approval of instructor. Lecture and laboratory. Corequisite: BIOL 568 Human Genetics. This course covers the major protein and DNA molecule marker systems and techniques currently used in biological research laboratories.
