Courses:
-
Bio 3308 (Microbiology), Lecture and Lab
- Introduction to the biology of microorganisms, including phylogeny and diversity, growth, metabolism, and genetics. A main objective is to gain appreciation and understanding of diversity and ubiquity of microorganisms. The course also considers the role of microorganisms in human’s lives, from ways in which they have shaped our environment to direct microbe-human interactions. The laboratory introduces basic techniques of pure culture work, enrichments and isolation, and experimentation with microorganisms.
- An exploration of how genomic information is obtained; new insights gained from this information into the workings of life at the molecular, cellular and organismal level; and how this information is being used to understand evolution, symbiosis, pathogenesis, effectiveness of vaccines, cancer diagnosis and treatment, and other current issues.
-
Bio 6615 (Current Topics in Molecular Biology)
- Seminar course exploring recent advances in Molecular Biology using primary literature published within the last six months.
