BIO 319
Cell and Molecular Biology 3 credits
An introduction to the structure and functions of cells, organelles, and cellular energetics. The study of cytogenetics and the control mechanisms of cellular function. The application of current research to biomedical practice as well as industrial processes.
BIO 489
Immunology 3 credits
This course details the components and function of the immune system. The generation of white blood cell types from the bone marrow is analyzed. The function of each type of white blood cell in providing resistance to infectious agents including bacteria and viruses is reviewed. Of particular emphasis is the role of chemical agents (cytokines) in initiating and coordinating the immune response. Topics of particular relevance include the genetic inheritance of immunity, the biology of immunodeficiencies, auto-immune diseases, allergies and hypersensitive reactions, vaccines, transplantation, antibody technology, gene therapy, and cancer.
