BIOSCI-259

Credits:2

Genetics and Genomics Genetics and genomics are issues that a ff ect individuals throughout their lifespan. These topics will gain even more importance as we learn more about the genetic basis of medical conditions. Therefore, anyone involved in healthcare will need an understanding about the social, ethical and legal issues of genetics and genomics as well as their underlying scienti fi c principles. This course provides an overview of genetics and genomics while exploring the implications of these topics on the healthcare setting. The fi rst part of the course concentrates on the basics of genetics and the science behind heritable characteristics. The course goes on to discuss the implications of genomics, concluding with an investigation of the social, ethical and legal issues of genetic technology (cloning for medical and reproductive purposes, genetically modi fi ed organisms or GMO’s and who owns genetic information. Prerequisite(s): Complete one of the following courses: BIOSCI-177, NATSCI-177, CHEM-186, NATSCI-186, BIOSCI-202, NATSCI-202, CHEM-208 or NATSCI-208. BIOSCI-260 Plagues, People, and Power This course covers the history of infectious diseases and their impact on human society as well as how human activities have contributed to infectious disease outbreaks. It also examines the potential future impact of infectious diseases. Topics to be covered include historical diseases, emerging and re emerging infectious diseases and biological weapons. Prerequisite(s): Complete ENG-195 or ENG-201 with minimum grade of C or a satisfactory MATC placement test score. BIOSCI-261 Credits:3 Introduction to Pharmacology Basic principles of drug action are presented in relation to body physiology. Emphasis is placed on drugs a ff ecting the central nervous system. Laboratory exercises are included to support principles of biology, chemistry, anatomy, and human physiology. BIOSCI-269 Credits:1 Genetic & Genomics Lab Genetics and genomics are issues that a ff ect individuals throughout their lifespan. These topics will gain even more importance as we learn more about the genetic basis of medical conditions. Therefore, anyone involved in healthcare will need an understanding about the social, ethical and legal issues of genetics and genomics as well as their underlying scienti fi c principles. This course is an adjunct to NATSCI-259 (a 2 credit lecture course that provides an overview of genetics and genomics while exploring the implications of these topics on the healthcare setting). This lab course would provide the students with the laboratory component of the technologies discussed in NATSCI-259. Taken together, Credits:3
