PROGRAM COURSE OFFERINGS:
Microbiology and Molecular
Genetics I & II
A two-semester course that provides a comprehensive examination of prokaryotic
and eukaryotic microbiology. Topics covered in the first semester include
cell physiology and structure, DNA replication and repair, gene expression,
translation and posttranslational modifications, and prokaryotic and eukaryotic
genetics. The second semester explores global regulatory networks, transport
mechanisms, signal transduction, cell-cell interactions and differentiation,
and mechanisms of pathogenesis and antimicrobial action.
Microbial Sensing and Signal Transduction
An advanced course on sensory reception and signal transduction
in response to environmental stimuli in prokaryotes and lower eukaryotes.
Based on a combination of lectures and student presentations of the current
literature.
Molecular Basis of Microbial Pathogenesis
An advanced course covering current areas of interest in microbial pathogenesis,
with emphasis on a comprehensive overview of the molecular basis of pathogenesis
through lectures and student evaluations of recent scientific papers and
reviews.
Topics in Bioterrorism
The broad impact of bioterrorism on scientific research and the role of
scientists in preparedness and response are addressed in a series of seminars
on diverse topics ranging from public health response, select agent biology,
disease diagnosis and management, and public policy.
