Biochemistry I. Fall Semester. For course description, see Chemistry 324 . For course description, see Chemistry 325 . Immunology deals with the cellular physiology, genetics, and health implications of this system, emphasizing the experimental evidence and reasoning that underlie our present understanding. This course is required of students seeking to enter the medical technology or master of science in nursing programs.
Molecular biology is the field of genetic engineering.
Its methods have not only offered great power to modify living things, directly manipulating their genetic material, but have given unexpected insights into the way genes work. The primary literature will be the source of information for most of the course, and students will be guided in independent research on a topic of their choice. This is a techniques and principles course in electron microscopy. The theory of electron microscopy will be covered and the student will become familiarized with the use of both transmission and scanning electron microscopes as well as the preparation of samples to be viewed. The course is integrated with a laboratory in which fixation of samples, embedding, grid preparation, staining, sputter coating and photographic techniques are taught.
