Biology

This course introduces students to the physiology, morphology, pathogenicity, and genetics of microorganisms and their diverse applications. Topics include microbial evolution, cell structure and function, metabolic pathways, information flow and regulation, microbial systems, and the influence of microorganisms on health and disease. Core methods in microbiological research will be examined through the analysis of primary scientific literature and case studies.

This is an intermediate lecture plus laboratory course focusing on using virtual reality to study human anatomy. Selected topics will emphasize physiological function and cellular mechanisms. The course is organized around a systems-based framework to the study of human anatomy. Lectures will also emphasize the clinical correlates and case studies of disease. All anatomical systems will be explored using a virtual reality laboratory. Potential examples include the skeletal, muscular, arterial, venous, lymphatic, nervous, respiratory, digestive, urinary, endocrine, reproductive, and integumentary systems. This course engages students with the contemporary and emerging field of virtual reality. Students will use and critically analyze advanced virtual and augmented reality technologies through scientific analysis and experimentation. This course will also expose students to empirical analysis and structural models of anatomy for problem solving. Students will develop basic competence in the use of deductive methods involving biological mechanisms of clinical disease.
