|
Microscopic Anatomy
|
ANAT 505
|
2
|
Microscopic structure of cells and tissues. Cellular
structure and physiological functions correlated. Lectures on
human embryology (F/S).
|
|
Histology
|
ANAT 506
|
2
|
Continuation
of ANAT 505; microscopic structure of cells, specialized
tissues, organization, basic organogenesis, correlation between
cellular structure and physiological function. Prerequisite:ANAT
505

|
Carcinogenesis and Chemoprevention
|
BCHEM 510
|
2
|
This course provides an understanding of the mechanisms that
can account for the induction of certain human cancers by
environmental carcinogens; the course also offers information
on the role of dietary factors in cancer prevention and
chemoprevention trials that are conducted in the United States
and abroad. Topics
covered include human exposure to environmental carcinogens,
organ specificity, metabolic activation of chemical carcinogens
and tumorigenesis in laboratory animals, factors that modulate
individual susceptibility to the deleterious effects of
chemical carcinogen, and the various classes of cancer
chemoprevention agents, as well as their efficacy, safety and
mechanisms of action in preclinical model systems.
The course will provide an overview of the etiology and
prevention of certain human cancers to students in biochemistry
and molecular biology, toxicology oncology, life sciences and
members of the MD/PhD program. |
|
Enzymology - Structure |
BCHEM 581 |
1 |
The students will learn the basics of X-ray crystallography and
NMR spectroscopy. |
|
Enzymology-Energetics |
BCHEM 582 |
1 |
The students will learn practical aspects of enzymology
including thermodynamics and kinetics. |
|
Enzymology- Function |
BCHEM 583 |
1 |
The mechanisms of enzyme-catalyzed reactions will be surveyed. |
|
Glycobiology-Carbohydrate Chemistry |
BCHEM 584 |
1 |
This course is designed to give graduate students interested in
studying carbohydrates the basics about their chemistry.
Because of their structure and the ability of just two
sugars to form a number of different bonds with each other,
carbohydrate chemistry is significantly more complex than
that of any of the other building blocks found in the body.
With the development of new approaches for studying these
compounds, the science of glycomics is coming into its own |
|
Glycobiology- Glycoconjugates |
BCHEM 585 |
1 |
This course is designed to give graduate students interested in
studying glycoconjugates the basics about their structure,
functions that they serve, exposure to papers pertinent to
the field, and the opportunity to integrate what they learn
in class with what they read in assigned papers through
class discussion. |
|
Glycobiology - Glycans in health and disease |
BCHEM 586 |
1 |
Students will learn about the possible role(s) of glycans in
health and disease and how that knowledge might be used to
ameliorate certain diseases. Students will be expected
to read papers and to integrate what they have learned in
lecture with what they read when papers are discussed in
class. |
|
Biological Basis of Human Health and Disease |
CMBIO 506 |

|
|
|
Laboratory Animal Genetics |
CMED 503 |
3
|
Genetic
principles are applied to laboratory animals used for
investigations of diseases that may be controlled or influenced
by genetic factors. The genetic stability, control, monitoring,
and the use of transgenic animals in biomedical research are
included. |
|
Genetic Approaches to Biomedical Problems |
GENET 597A |
3
|
Advanced training of students with
interest in genetic approaches to problem solving
|
|
Genomics |
IBIOS 598B |
3
|
The
overall objective is to learn current information about the
structure and function of genomes, to develop facility in the
many web-based tools and resources for further studies and
research in genomics, and to appreciate the power and
limitations of current resources and knowledge. The material
will be covered in eight related sections.
