Courses
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.
Students enrolled in the MA in Biotechnology Program have the opportunity to receive academic credit while conducting Supervised Research under the guidance of a faculty mentor within the University (S5502) or a biotech business-specific Supervised Internship outside the University (S5503) within the New York City Metropolitan Area unless otherwise approved by the Program. Credits received from this course are used to fulfill the Practical Training requirement for the MA degree.
