Course Descriptions
— Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology
- BCMB 290 — Seminar — 1 credit
- Instruction in seminar format and oral presentation; student presentations on current topics in molecular life sciences, relevant to basic or applied research findings from the primary scientific literature.
- BCMB 440 — Proteomics — 3 credits
- (Prerequisites: BIOL 361 or 362 and CHEM 451 or permission of instructor) Study of the post-genomic era, including protein identification strategies using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, mass spectometry and use of protein databases. The course also covers the ways in which proteomic study continues to impact disease diagnosis, cancer research and drug design.
