However, evaluation and control measures will cover many types of hazardous exposures, including those from chemical exposures.
An independent research project in an area of biology under the direction of a faculty mentor. The research may be conducted in the Department of Biology or in other biological units on campus. A research contract signed by the student and the faculty research mentor must be approved by the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Biology. May be repeated to a maximum of 12 credits, but a maximum of only 6 credits may be used the satisfy the requirements of a BS or BA in Biology.
BIO 482 will introduce students to the physical, chemical, and biological properties of viruses. The key elements of the viral life cycle will be examined in molecular detail for representative viruses, and critical aspects of host-pathogen interactions will be discussed.
This one credit course will provide examples of contemporary clinical and healthcare practices where biomedical engineering solutions have either been successfully employed or there is an opportunity for biomedical engineering solutions to solve an existing need in healthcare. The course will consist of classroom lectures combined with visits to the hospital for observation.
May be repeated to a maximum of six semesters.
The SPARK program, a collaboration between the Center on Health Equity Transformation (CHET) and the Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS), offers research training for a diverse cohort of undergraduate students from the University of Kentucky and Kentucky State University. Students, known as "SPARKlers," receive mentorship, training, and funding to conduct research on health disparities in local communities. Through BSC 390: Health Equity Research Foundations, SPARKlers learn research fundamentals, develop protocols, and submit IRB applications.
