Biological research produces a variety of images, that need to be processed. What are the methods, standards and ethics behind biological image processing? Students will learn the foundations of image data: what is a pixel, and what does it represent in a biological image? What are bit depth, channels and stacks? What are file types, and what is image compression? What is metadata, and how is it associated with biological data? What are the reporting standards when publishing biological images? Students will learn technical skills and techniques to quantify and analyze biological images.

In this course, students will study the molecular genetics of inherited disease in humans. Students will use and build on foundational knowledge to gain a broad and deep understanding of the genetic, molecular, cellular and physiological basis for disease. Using individual critical thinking and combined team work, students will discover what is currently known about particular inherited diseases, what are the gaps in our understanding of disease, and will identify barriers to progress in disease treatment.

How do complex morphologies develop from a single-cell embryo? What makes the human hand different from the horse's hoof, the bat's wing, or the flipper of a whale? These and related questions will be addressed as we explore the genetic and developmental basis of evolutionary change.
