361. Microbial Pathogenesis. (3h) Explores the molecular mechanisms by which microorganisms
attack hosts, how hosts defend against pathogens, and how these interactions cause disease.
P—BIO 112, 214, and POI.
362. Immunology. (3h) Study of the components and protective mechanisms of the immune
system. P—BIO 112 and 214.
363. Sensory Biology. (3h) Lecture course with emphasis on sensory physiology and other
aspects of sensory systems, e.g. molecular biology and anatomy. Credit not allowed for BIO 363,
363S, and 364. P—BIO 112 and 214.
363S. Sensory Biology. (3h) Lecture course with emphasis on sensory physiology and other
aspects of sensory systems, e.g. molecular biology and anatomy. Credit not allowed for BIO 363,
363S, and 364. P—BIO 112 and 214 and POI. Offered in summer only. Taught in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
364. Sensory Biology. (4h) Lecture and laboratory course with emphasis on sensory physiology
and other aspects of sensory systems, e.g. molecular biology and anatomy. Credit not allowed
for BIO 363, 363S, and 364. P—BIO 112 and 214.
365. Biology of the Cell. (4h) Lecture and laboratory course on classic experiments and recent
advances in cell biology. Lectures emphasize analysis and interpretation of experimental data in
the primary literature, focusing on topics such as the targeting of macromolecules, cell-cell communication,
and the control of cell division. The text for this course consists of papers that have
led to the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine and more current work using biological
tools. The lab introduces basic techniques in cell biology and leads to an independent project.
Lab—three hours. P—BIO 112, 213, and 214.
365S. Biology of the Cell. (3h) Lecture course with emphasis on cellular biology and reading
of the primary literature. P—BIO 213, 214 and POI. Offered in summer only. Taught in Ljubljana,
Slovenia.
367. Virology. (3h) Designed to introduce students to viruses, viral/host interactions, pathogenicity,
methods of control and their use in molecular biology, including gene therapy.
P—BIO 112, 213, and 214.
368. The Cell Biological Basis of Disease. (3h) Examines some of the defects in basic cellular
mechanisms that are responsible for many diseases. P—BIO 112 and 214.
369. The Cell Biological Basis of Disease. (4h) Examines some of the defects in basic cellular
mechanisms that are responsible for many diseases. The labs use advanced microscopic and
histological techniques to investigate basic properties of cells. P—BIO 112 and 214.
370. Biochemistry: Macromolecules and Metabolism. (3h) Lecture course introducing the principles
of biochemistry with an emphasis on the experimental approaches that elucidated these
principles. Topics include structure, function, and biosynthesis of biological molecules, analysis
of enzyme function and activity, bioenergetics, and regulation of metabolic pathways. Also
listed as CHM 370. P—BIO 214 and either CHM 223 or 230, or POI.
