  • BIOL 221L: Microbiology Laboratory

    1.00 Credits
    Philadelphia University

    Laboratories are designed to complement and expand information from lectures. Students will gain experience in classical techniques used by environmental and clinical microbiologists for determining unknown bacteria and molds. Practical studies will also compare historical and current methods for physical and chemical removal of microbes. Corequisites: BIOL-221 Prerequisites: grade of "C-" (1.67) or better in BIOL-104 and BIOL- 104L

  • BIOL 303: Histology

    4.00 Credits
    Philadelphia University

    Histology provides students with an integrated perspective of how adaptations in physiology, biochemistry and morphology allow cellular organization into human organs and support systems. Laboratory studies will introduce students to abnormal embryology, which is the core of many aspects of disease, especially those affecting children. As well as analysis of prepared slides, students will learn to interpret and present abnormal histology/embryology in the form of "case histories."Prerequisites: grade of "C-" (1.67) or better in BIOL-104 and BIOL- 104L and junior status

  • BIOL 307: Embryology

    3.00 Credits
    Philadelphia University

    This course is an elective for students who have completed two semesters of Science-major Biology. It will consider animal embryology from gametogenesis (of sperm and egg) to organogenesis (development of organs) and specification. The course includes cytogenesis (development of cells) and morphogenesis (change in body form) of the developing embryo. Prerequisite: grade of "C-" (1.67) or better in BIOL-104 and BIOL- 104L

  • BIOL 312: Biochemistry I

    4.00 Credits
    Philadelphia University

    Biochemistry I introduces the student to protein chemistry, protein structure/function relationships, and basic enzymology. It also covers chemistry of carbohydrates and lipids with particular emphasis on human metabolism of these compounds. The lab section introduces some basic techniques used routinely in a biochemistry research setting including protein purification, enzyme kinetics and carbohydrate chemistry.

  • BIOL 313: Biochemistry II

    4.00 Credits
    Philadelphia University

    Biochemistry II continues the metabolic theme of Biochemistry I with emphasis on nitrogen-containing compounds (amino acids, urea cycle, nucleotide biosynthesis). Also considered are biological membranes, transmembrane transport and signaling. The course concludes with the biochemistry of polynucleotides (DNA and RNA) and protein biosynthesis and trafficing. The lab section continues the theme of Biochemistry I lab with studies on carbohydrate chemistry, lipid chemistry and handling of polynucleotides. Prerequisite: grade of "C" or better in BIOL-312

  • BIOL 315: Immunology(Formerly S228)

    3.00 Credits
    Philadelphia University

    The objective of this course is to introduce students to the innate mechanisms by which the human body prevents infection, as well as those involved in specifically acquired immunity. Topics include the structural, functional and genetic aspects of a fully competent immune system that can successfully prevent attack by millions of microorganisms each day. Exploration of the many medical conditions which result from hyperactive- or impaired-immune responses including allergy, autoimmunity, cancer and AIDS are studied.

  • BIOL 371: or Selected Topics in Biology(Formerly S220)

    3.00 Credits
    Philadelphia University

    This course provides an opportunity to explore topics in biology not developed in other courses. Examples include specialized areas of organismal biology, conservation biology, developmental and molecular biology. Students may take this course more than once as the topics differ each time it is offered. Prerequisite: grade of "C-" (1.67) or better in BIOL-104 and BIOL- 104L or permission of instructor
