Integrated Biomedical Sciences

Fall Curriculum

IBS 601: Biomolecules and Metabolism (3)
An introductory graduate-level biochemistry course designed to provide a basic knowledge of molecular and biochemical principles necessary for advanced graduate study. Protein structure and function, enzyme catalysis, the generation and storage of metabolic energy, amino acid, nucleotide, and lipid metabolism and biological membranes and transport will be covered. Prerequisites: CHE 105 and 107, CHE 230 and 232, BIO 150 and 152, or equivalents. (Same as BCH 607.)

IBS 603: Cell Biology (3)
An introductory graduate-level course on cell biology focused on cell types and architecture, membrane structure, cytoskeletons, mitochondria, cellular mechanisms of development, cell division, cell cycle, apoptosis and prokaryotic cell biology and modulation by bacterial pathogens. Prerequisites: CHE 105 and 107, CHE 230 and 232, BIO 150 and 152, or equivalents.

IBS 605: Experimental Genetics (3)
An introductory genetics course designed to expose first-year graduate students to contemporary methods and concepts of genetic analysis. Where possible, model systems will be presented as paradigms to illustrate important concepts. Prerequisites: CHE 105 and 107, CHE 230 and 232, BIO 150 and 152, or equivalents. (Same as MI 604.)
