Med Zoology Journal Club

This journal club explores recently published primary research articles that investigate recent findings in zoonotic diseases with a multidisciplinary approach, or "medical zoology." Zoonotic diseases are those originating and/or being maintained in natural animal populations, but which occasionally spill over into human populations. These will likely involve infectious organisms that have a transmission cycle involving another animal species. Course content consists of asynchronous reading of primary literature and coming together as a group to discuss synchronously.

AdvancedTopics/Biochemistry

This course will focus on applied aspects of biochemistry with emphasis on techniques used in protein chemistry and biotechnology. The class will specifically review and discuss experiments and methods used to establish selected biochemical concepts and theories in relation to human health. As a required course for the Masters in Applied Molecular Biotechnology program, this course will expose students to techniques and reagents found in a modern biotech/molecular biology laboratory setting. Emphasis will be placed on the technical details of procedures and experimental design.

Pathogenic Bacteriology

Laboratory procedures in clinical and diagnostic bacteriology including: i) cultural and physiological characteristics of the pathogenic bacteria; ii) recommended procedures for the cultivation of both the common and rare pathogens isolated from clinical material; iii) conventional and rapid biochemical methods for detection and identification of medically important bacteria; iv) serological procedures on microorganisms of prime medical concern; and v) prescribed tests for the susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics and antimetabolites.
