|
| |
-
CHEM 7143 Biochemistry of Cell Fate (3 hours)
An advanced course discussing biochemical principles that underlie biological processes determining mammalian cell fate. Emphasis will be on understanding how different signal transduction mechanisms influence gene expression and protein activity to modulate cell cycle control and cell fate decisions. Prerequisites: CHEM 4133 or equivalent course and permission of instructor.
|
| |
-
CHEM 7193 Biochemistry of Disease (3 hours)
An advanced course that will take a mechanistic approach to understanding how disruption of basic biological processes like gene expression, protein activity, and cell fate determination contribute to development of human diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration. Prerequisites: CHEM 4133 or equivalent course and permission of instructor.
|
| |
-
CHEM 7213 Clinical Biochemistry (3 hours)
Coordinates the understanding of the biochemical concepts relating to cellular metabolism and energy, signal transduction, neurotransmitter syntheses/degradation and molecular and human cell biology, nutrition, and tissue and organ metabolism. Students will apply the biochemical principles to maintaining wellness and treating disease states.
|
| |
-
CHEM 7283 Biochemistry of Nutrition (3 hours)

|
| |
-
CHEM 7293 Biochemistry of Cancer (3 hours)
Explore the biochemical basis of cancer. Identify interconnected biochemical systems underlying normal/abnormal cellular function. Develop a deeper understanding of the biochemical nature of cellular transformation. Recognize context and the limitations. Develop communicator skills.
|
| |
-
CHEM 7313 Biochemistry of Neutraceuticals (3 hours)
The biochemistry of functional foods and novel food compounds that promote health and combat disease. Prerequisite: CHEM 4133 or equivalent.
|
| |
-
CHEM 7863 Advanced Topics in Chemistry and Biochemistry (3 hours)
Advanced study of an area of research activity. Important concepts, the contribution of modern instrumentation, and relevance of the research will be emphasized. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
|
| |
-
CHEM 7973 Graduate Seminar (3 hours)
In addition to discussions of advanced topics in chemistry and biochemistry given by students, faculty, and invited guest speakers, students will be assigned a topic on which to write a research proposal. A defense of the proposal before the faculty will be conducted at the end of the semester.
