Individualized study. Research under direction of faculty member.

Laboratory procedures in cellular immunology and immunochemistry. Lab procedures explore protein chemistry of antibodies, including antibody isolation using salt precipitation, ion exchange and molecular sieving column chromatography, spectrophotometry, SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), western blotting, immunoprecipitation, Immunodiffusion (Ouchterlony technique) and enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) and Immunofluorescence staining.

Individual study of a selected problem for qualified students.

Basic concepts of microbial genetics, and genomics. Both classic and modern experimental approaches to studies of fundamental genetic processes. Prerequisites: MICROBIO 310 or BIOLOGY 151 and 152/153 or consent of instructor.

Microbiological laboratory procedures including sterile technique, microscopy, enrichment and isolation, and preservation. Extensive experience in the cultivation of microorganisms. Prerequisite: MICROBIO 310 or concurrent enrollment.

Overview of the microbial world including a survey of the structure, functioning, and diversity of microorganisms. Introduction to the fundamental concepts of microbial physiology, ecology, genetics, and pathogenesis. Prerequisite: CHEM 261 or concurrent enrollment.

Not for majors. With lab. Basic concepts of microbiology with emphasis on microbial pathogenesis and immunity. Medically important microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, viruses, rickettsia, protozoa, and the diseases which they produce. Laboratory exercises develop fundamental skills in aseptic technique, microscopy, pure culture study, and the isolation and identification of pathogenic microorganisms. (Gen.Ed. BS)
