Currently I teach three courses. These pages provide information pertinent to students enrolled in my courses or those just thinking about taking them. Special emphasis is placed on the theory and application of modern techniques of genetic analysis and manipulation via recombinant DNA technologies. Laboratory exercises will stress the application of these techniques within a problem solving context.
Special emphasis is placed on organisms of medical importance.
Laboratory exercises will focus primarily on bacteriology and immunology with emphasis placed on the acquisition of basic skills and techniques of microbial isolation and analysis. Special emphasis is placed on the medical aspects of genetics and human reproduction. The anatomy and physiology of selected human systems will also be covered. Laboratory exercises will supplement the lecture presentation. The views expressed are those of Brian Odom and not necessarily those of Wingate University.
