(Fee $100) MBIO-4220 Signal Transduction–Fa 4 hours Study of major cellular signaling pathways and their physiological functions in homeostasis and disease. Applications to development, organ and tissue homeostasis, and conditions arising from aberrant signaling, such as cancer. Emphasis upon current discoveries and analysis of current, peer-reviewed literature in the field. Three (50-minute) lectures per week and one laboratory per week. Prerequisites: MBIO-3210 Advanced Cell Biology or permission of instructor. (odd years) MBIO-4250 Biology of Cancer–Fa 4 hours Study of cancer including classification of cancer, pathophysiology of the disease in terms of signal transduction and gene regulation, and mechanisms behind current and experimental treatments for the disease. Three (50-minute) lectures per week and one laboratory per week. Prerequisites: MBIO-3210 Advanced Cell Biology or permission of instructor. (even years) MBIO-4300 Molecular Biology–Fa 4 hours Study of the molecules that make up the living cell with an emphasis on nucleic acid biology. Three lectures and one (threehour) laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIO-3300 Genetics; BIO-3710 Biochemistry. (Fee: $100) MBIO-4310 Eukaryotic Gene Regulation–Sp 3 hours This course covers eukaryotic gene regulation, which encompasses the knowledge of both basal and regulated transcriptional machinery, how these proteins are regulated, how they regulate gene expression, and their role in cancer progression. Emphasis is placed on the role of chromatin structure and epigenetics in gene expression. Prerequisite: MBIO-4300 Molecular Biology. MBIO-4370 Virology–Sp 3 hours The concepts and methods of virology are covered, with emphasis on animal viruses, within the framework of cell biology, genetics, molecular biology, immunology, pathology, and epidemiology. Viral replication will be examined in detail. The effects that viruses inflict on host cells will also be examined, as will some of the host cell responses generated by such virus-cell interactions, including interferon induction, the antiviral response generated by interferon, and oncogenic transformation. In addition, an overview of procedures used for prevention and treatment of viral diseases via vaccines and antiviral drugs, respectively, will be presented. Prerequisite: BIO-3300 Genetics. (even years) Management (MGMT) MGMT-3500 3 hours Principles of Organization and Management–Fa, Sp An examination of the policies, principles, practices, and problems involved in the management of organizations as they are currently being applied in the United States and around the world to meet or exceed customer’s expectations. MGMT-3510 3 hours Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management–Fa This course will introduce students to business innovation and entrepreneurship in small and large organizations. The basics of envisioning, evaluating, starting, and running a brand new business and/or a new business unit within an existing organization will be explored. (crosslisted with ENTR-3510 Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management) MGMT-3525 Service and Production Operations–Fa 3 hours This course introduces management concepts, methodologies, and application to service and production operations. The course develops an understanding of the role of OM and how management decisions in product or service design, analysis and development of processes bring value to both the customer and the organization.
