An introductory survey course in basic human physiology.
RNA-seq, ChIP-seq and microarray techniques are powerful tools for global analyses of transcriptomes and gene expression. This advanced hands-on course is designed for students who desire to become research scientists in any of the many areas of biology that use these techniques. Lectures on fundamental concepts, experimental design, and the impact of understanding gene expression patterns are combined with computer labs where students analyze RNA-seq, ChIP-seq and microarray data. Prereq: A course in Cell Biology or Molecular Biology.
A study of some advanced problems in physiology under the direct supervision of the instructor. Discussion period, one hour; laboratory, four hours. May be repeated to a maximum of eight credits.
This online course surveys the consequences of evolution on human function and disease. Lecture materials, online discussions, and reading and writing assignments will expand on examples of the repercussions of evolutionary processes on health.
The course consists of an introduction to neurophysiology and study of the neural basis of sensory processing and motor patterns. A comparative analysis of the neurobiological basis of behavioral responses will be made, utilizing a broad range of vertebrates and invertebrates.
The objective of this course is to examine in-depth the various functions of the cardiovascular system and their proposed mechanisms.
A two (2) credit seminar course in which issues related to the theory and practice of life science education are discussed in a Socratic manner. May be repeated to a maximum of three credits.
A two (2) credit experimental course in which students will directly participate in the teaching of Physiology under supervised conditions. May be repeated to a maximum of six credits.
