Graduate Courses
MIC X83K. Topics in Advanced Microbiology.
Examine microbiology topics in-depth.
MIC X86. Topics in Problems and Methods in the Life Sciences.
Examine the questions addressed in modern life sciences research and the experimental methods used. Focus on experimental reasoning and on the application of different techniques to solve problems.
MIC X90C. Topics in Microbiology.
Discuss current topics in microbiology
MIC X92. Research Problems.
MIC X94M. Bacterial Behavior and Signaling Mechanisms.
Examine molecular, cellular, organismal, ecological, and evolutionary biology of bacteria. Focus on a large number of bacteria, both Gram-positive and Gram-negative from four major phyla, that live and survive both as free-living microbes, in groups, and in both beneficial and pathogenic associations with eukaryotic hosts. Explore evolution of organelles and behaviors, including receiving and transducing signals that produce a variety of outcomes such as chemotaxis and motility, morphogenesis and development, secretion and virulence, quorum sensing and biofilms, bacterial warfare, and antibiotic production and tolerance.
MIC X95G. Structure and Function of Proteins and Membranes.
Explore advanced biochemistry concepts and the scientific process. Examine a detailed consideration of the structure and function of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids, as well as discussion of enzyme mechanisms and kinetics.
MIC X95H. Cell Biology.
Examine mechanisms of growth control, cell cycle regulation, mitosis, cell signaling, protein targeting, and the integration of these processes.
MIC X95J. Genes, Genomes, and Gene Expression.
Examine prokaryotic and eukaryotic mechanisms of DNA replication and transcription; posttranscriptional processing of transcription products; and mechanism and regulation of the translation of messenger RNAs.
MIC X95M. Advanced Microbiology.
Explore technical and conceptual aspects of microbiology. Focus on experimental methods and design. Discuss career opportunities and development with industry professionals.
MIC X98. Thesis.
MIC X98R. Master's Report.
Prepare a report to fulfill the requirement for the master's degree under the report option.
