BIOM 6643 Neurophysiology Prerequisites: BIOM 5616.
BIOM 6705 Advanced Gross Anatomy Prerequisites: Consent of course coordinator. Description: General and specific concepts of regional human anatomy. The primary focus is the range of normal for all organ systems and interrelationships. Provides an advanced descriptive basis for understanding human structure and function encountered in succeeding courses and in the practice of teaching gross anatomy to graduate and medical students. Credit hours: 5 Contact hours: Lecture: 3 Lab: 4 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lab, Lecture, Combined lecture and lab Department/School: Biomedical Sciences BIOM 6723 Field Techniques in Vertebrate Paleontology Description: This course introduces students to techniques and tools necessary to conduct field work in vertebrate paleontology. The primary techniques will include mapping, prospecting and collecting both micro- and macrofossil vertebrate remains. Processing of rock matrix with microvertebrates will be emphasized, but preparation of macrofossil remains for transportation to the research lab will be taught. Credit hours: 3 Contact hours: Lecture: 3 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lecture Department/School: Biomedical Sciences BIOM 6733 Microbial Pathogenesis Prerequisites: BIOM 6791/PCME 8791, consent of instructor. Description: An in-depth introduction to the fundamental principles and molecular mechanisms by which microbes cause disease in humans. Focuses on current research and provides a comprehensive overview of the molecular basis of pathogenesis with a focus on prokaryotic and eukaryotic model microbial systems to illustrate mechanisms of disease pathogenesis. Discusses the role of the microbiome in health and disease. Credit hours: 3 Contact hours: Lecture: 3 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lecture Department/School: Biomedical Sciences BIOM 6743 Foundations in Medical Genetics, Molecular Biology and Development Description: Human genetics and development, including structure and function of nucleic acids, gene regulation, basis of inheritance, and development of the human embryo. Credit hours: 3 Contact hours: Lecture: 3 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lecture Department/School: Biomedical Sciences BIOM 6752 Foundations in Medical Cell and Tissue Biology Description: Structure and function of cells within tissues as it relates to human health and disease, including cell transport, cell-to-cell communication and organ system control. Credit hours: 2 Contact hours: Lecture: 2 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lecture Department/School: Biomedical Sciences
Description: Fundamental concepts of the motor and sensory components of the nervous system with emphasis on integrative mechanisms.

Description: Provides a basic framework for scientific conduct and practice and the skills needed for a career in the biomedical sciences. Credit hours: 2 Contact hours: Lecture: 2 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lecture Department/School: Biomedical Sciences BIOM 6663 Neuroethology Prerequisites: Permission of instructor. Description: This course is designed to provide an analysis of the neuroendocrine basis of behavior. Lectures will serve as the format of presentation to provide a sound understanding of the neuroethological concepts discussed. Credit hours: 3 Contact hours: Lecture: 3 Levels: Graduate Schedule types: Lecture Department/School: Biomedical Sciences BIOM 6673 Genomics Prerequisites: BIOM 6175. Description: The course begins with a review of molecular biology and then proceeds to the structure and organization of eukaryotic, prokaryotic, and organelle genomes. Techniques in dividing, sequencing, annotating, and mapping genomes are studied as well as those of global gene expression profiling. The course finishes with a look at the many applications of genomics in biomedical science and disease.
