Students learn how to select, design, implement, and evaluate a variety of computational tools and techniques to solve problems in the field of biology such as sequencing DNA, identifying and predicting genes, and detecting RNA structures. They are introduced to the principles and practical...

Formerly BIOL 1116Students from a variety of backgrounds are introduced to biology and how it relates to humans, as well as issues of social importance in today's world. Through lectures and laboratories, students acquire theoretical knowledge and participate in practical demonstrations of...

This course is the first of a series of three on human disease. Participants will have an opportunity to develop a knowledge base in pathophysiology. It focuses on general principles and mechanisms which are then applied to a system by system survey of disease conditions. This course begins with an...

Students explore the principles of cellular and organismal physiology by comparing and contrasting the ways that plants and animals have evolved to overcome the problems of being complex multicellular organisms. The major functions explored include transport processes, nutrient and energy...
