Course Detail
GS07 1011(1个学分)
FallKoehler, Theresa. One semester hour. Fall, odd-numbered years.Grading System: Pass or Fail.Prerequisite: None.
The broad impact of bioterrorism and emerging infectious diseases on scientific research and public health, and the role of scientists in preparedness and response will be addressed in a series of seminar presentations. Speakers with expertise in diverse areas, including public health response, select agent biology, diagnosis and disease management, and public policy, will present talks followed by group discussion. Audit not allowed, but unregistered students who wish to attend only talks of their choice are welcome.

春天Hu, Bo; Margolin, Bill. One semester hour. Spring, annually.Grading System: Pass or Fail.Prerequisite: General knowledge of microbiology and biochemistry and consent of instructor (approval code needed for registration).
Fluorescence and electron microscopes permit the examination of cellular features at high magnification. This laboratory-based course is designed to provide the theory, fundamental operating principles, specimen preparation techniques of fluorescence microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and cryo-electron microscopy. At the end of the course, students with no prior experience will be able to prepare specimens, operate the instruments, and collect and interpret data. In addition, students will also learn how to write part of manuscripts. While this course is intended for students in the Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Program, other GSBS students are encouraged to enroll as these advanced microscopic techniques are broadly used.

春天Konovalova, Anna. Five-hour semester. Spring, annually.评分系统:字母等级。Prerequisites: GS21 1017: Foundations of Biomedical Research or Permission of Instructor.
The objective of this course is to provide our second-semester, first-year students with a broad knowledge of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbial biology. Topics covered include genetics, gene expression, signal transduction, and stress responses, cell biology, pathogenesis, host responses, and antimicrobial therapy. The course is divided into 15 one-week units composed of at least two faculty-led lectures and two roundtable discussions of the primary literature. Letter grades are based on participation (25%), writing exercises focused on the papers discussed in class (50%), and a weekly problem set (25%).
