Systems Biology (MCBP-777)
TBA
Instructor: Craig Clarkson, Ph.D.
Seminar (MCBP-714)
Students must attend a minimum of seven (7) seminars during the semester. Students may attend any regularly scheduled seminar (uptown, downtown, or at another institution), except those given by graduate students.
Students are required to turn in summaries by the last day of regular classes in each semester. Summaries should be concise (two summaries to a page) and follow the outline in the syllabus.
Instructor: Robert Garry, Ph.D.
Seminar (MCBP-715)

Students are required to turn in summaries by the last day of regular classes in each semester. Summaries should be concise (two summaries to a page) and follow the outline in the syllabus.
Instructor: Robert Garry, Ph.D.
Research Methods (MCBP-712)
Students attend 1 semester of faculty research seminars, and 1 6-week lab rotation (2 credits each, for a total of 4 credits).
Students choose from the faculty in the Biomedical Sciences as their advisor for each of the lab rotations.
Students have the option of completing a lab rotation in the Fall of the first semester or the Summer after 1st year.
Instructor: Robert Garry, Ph.D.
Research Methods (MCBP-713)
Students take part in two 6-week lab rotations (2.0 credits each, for a total of 4.0 credits).
Students choose from the faculty in the Biomedical Sciences as their advisor for each of the lab rotations. Students must complete two lab rotations in the Spring.
Instructor: Robert Garry, Ph.D.
Journal Workshop (MCBP-710)
This course is designed to familiarize students with current research in biomedical sciences and to strengthen their presentation skills. Students make one presentation per semester on either their research or recent journal articles to their classmates and BMS faculty. The presentation is followed by a critique and discussion session in which the presenter answers questions from the audience. Students are graded on the presentation and discussion session, and attendance.
Instructor: Karol Sestak, Ph.D.
Journal Workshop (MCBP-711)
This course is designed to familiarize students with current research in biomedical sciences and to strengthen their presentation skills. Students make one presentation per semester on either their research or recent journal articles to their classmates and BMS faculty. The presentation is followed by a critique and discussion session in which the presenter answers questions from the audience. Students are graded on the presentation and discussion session, and attendance.
Instructor: Karol Sestak, Ph.D.
Independent Study (MCBP-799)
Students who have a placement in a laboratory are able to sign up for independent study hours. Up to 5 hours per semester for a total of 12.
Instructor: Faculty Advisor
Human Molecular Genetics (EPID-781)
This course will begin with a basic understanding of DNA and RNA and their relation to protein production. This information will then be put into the perspective of chromosome structure, function and evolution. Methods for molecular analysis of genetic information and for identification of disease loci will be covered. This will then be put into a population perspective, relating genetic instability to genetic variation and the influence of this genetic variation to disease risk. Cancer will be used as the dominant example of disease-related questions, but others will also be incorporated. Finally, our understanding of the human genome and gene function will be used to understand the latest technologies for studying human molecular genetics and for developing novel therapeutic strategies.
Instructor: Prescott Deininger, Ph.D.
Biostatistics (GBCH-725)
This is an introductory course in applied bench science biostatistics. It covers both graphical and numerical methods of describing data, an introduction to probability and probability distributions, parameter estimation and hypothesis testing. This course is required for all first year students
Instructor: William Wimley, Ph.D.
General Biochemistry (GBCH-601)
This graduate level course is designed to be a fairly rigorous introduction to the subject permitting the students to handle more advanced courses in biochemistry. Topics covered include: structure and function of macromolecules, bioenergetics and enzyme kinetics. Intermediary and lipid metabolism is now offered as a secondary elective course. The course also includes an introduction to molecular biology
Instructor: William Wimley, Ph.D.
