    General principles of medical microbiology, microorganisms that cause disease, and details of the disease process.  General principles of pathogenic mechanisms, host defense systems and disease treatment strategies are introduced and applied to the study of specific pathogens (mostly bacterial pathogens) and their accompanying diseases.  Prerequisites: BIOL 1603, 1611, 1703, 1711, 2123, and 2121.
  
  • BIOL 6123-4 Selected Topics in Microbiology

    (3-4 hours)
    Lecture or lecture/lab examination of current research in selected topic in microbiology. The topic varies depending on the interest and expertise of the presenter. Topics addressed may include bacterial genetics, evolution and molecular biology. Prerequisites: BIOL 1603, BIOL 1611, BIOL 1703, BIOL 1711, BIOL 2123and BIOL 2121; BIOL 3084 recommended.
  
  • BIOL 6153 Animal Behavior

    (3 hours)
    Introduction to classical ethology and behavioral ecology. Topics include animal communication, foraging, sexual selection, mating systems, social organization, spacing patterns, learning, evolutionarily stable strategies, alternative mating tactics, and human sociobiology. Prerequisites: BIOL 1603, 1611, 1703, 1711, 2123 and 2121.
  
  • BIOL 6163 Experimental Techniques in Molecular Biology

    (3 hours)
    Isolate and detect RNA, DNA and protein; manipulate RNA and DNA; clone a gene of interest using polymerase chain reaction, and sequence DNA.  Provides background for further work in cell biology, virology, biotechnology, disease diagnostics and microbiology.  Lecture and laboratory combined four hours per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 1603, 1611, 1703, 1711, 2123, and 2121.
  
  • BIOL 6173 Principles of Neuroscience

    (3 hours)
    Foundational topics in neuroscience, including neural/glial cell function, sensory systems, motor systems, and cognitive functions. Prerequisites: BIOL 1603, 1611, 1703, 1711, 2123 and 2121; a previous physiology course is recommended but not required.
  
  • BIOL 6193 Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering

    (3 hours)
    Impact of new techniques in biotechnology, potential uses, limitations and ethical considerations.  Topics include basic and modern concepts of genetic engineering, methodology of gene manipulation, and modern applications in agricultural, industrial, pharmaceutical, and biomedical fields.  Emphasis on the engineering aspects not the genetics.  Prerequisites: BIOL 1603, 1611, 1703, 1711, 2123 and 2121.
