4.00 Credits
An examination of the molecular basis of human diseases. Course emphasizes inherited human disorders, and some important diseases caused by viruses. Focus on the application of genetic, biochemical, and molecular biological principles to an understanding of the diseases. Three hours of lecture. Course restricted to upper-division biology majors. Prerequisites: BICD 100; BIBC 102; BIMM 100.
-
4.00 Credits
This course explores problems in the regulation of gene activity in eucaryotic cells approached at the molecular level. The course includes the organization, structure, transcription, and regulation of eucaryotic genes; mechanism of hormonal regulation in controlling gene activity; induction of gene expression in eucaryotic cells; role of signal transduction in controlling gene expression; and regulation of gene activity during differentiation in developing systems. Examples are taken from eucaryotic microorganisms, invertebrates, as well as mammalian and other vertebrate systems. Three hours of lecture and one hour of discussion. Prerequisites: BIMM 100.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to eucaryotic virology, with emphasis on animal virus systems. Topics discussed include the molecular structure of viruses; the multiplication strategies of the major virus families; and viral latency, persistence, and oncology. Three hours of lecture and one hour of discussion. Prerequisites: BIMM 100.
-
4.00 Credits
(Cross-listed with Psych 133; however, biology majors must take the course as BIMM 116.) Examples and fundamental properties of the daily biological clock in humans, animals, and microbes. Experimental approaches employed to understand how organisms keep time and how this applies to human health. Prerequisites: BILD 1 or Psych 106 or consent of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Basics of pharmacology such as drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination. Concepts in toxicology and pharmacognosy are used to survey the major drug categories. Prerequisites: BIBC 100 or BIBC 102; BIPN 100.
-
4.00 Credits
A discussion of the structure, growth, molecular genetics, and physiology of procaryotic microorganisms, with emphasis on the diverse activities of bacteria and on the interaction of various bacterial species with their environment. Three hours of lecture and one hour recitation. Prerequisites: Chem 140A; Chem 140B; BIBC 100 or BIBC 102 (may be taken concurrently).
-
4.00 Credits
Course emphasizes fundamental principles of microbiology, including comparative bacterial morphology and physiology, pure culture techniques, and bacterial growth. Additional studies include bacteriophage interactions, antibiotics, the use of bio-assays, natural microbial communities through metagenomics and enrichment, and bacteria in biotechnology. Prerequisites: BIBC 102 or BIMM 120 strongly recommended; upper-division standing.
-
4.00 Credits
Organization and function of procaryotic genetic systems including sex factors, transduction, transformation, phage genetics, transposons, genetic engineering. Three hours of lecture. Prerequisites: BIMM 100, BICD 100, or consent of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Encompasses the increasingly important areas of viral, bacterial, and parasitic diseases and understanding the complex interaction between humans and infectious agents. Covers human-pathogen interactions, mechanisms and molecular principles of infectious diseases, immune responses, countermeasures by pathogens and hosts, epidemiology, and cutting-edge approaches to therapy. Prerequisites: BIBC 100 or BIBC 102 recommended; upper-division standing.
-
4.00 Credits
The role of microorganisms in the oceans: metabolic diversity, methods in marine microbiology, interactions of microbes with other microbes, plants and animals, biogeochemical cycling, pollution and water quality, microbe-mineral interactions, extremophiles. Prerequisites: BIBC 102 and BIMM 120 recommended.
