Early development of microbiology, pathology, and immunobiology; molecular and cellular bases of immune phenomena including: immunity to pathogens, immune diseases, autoimmunity, and hypersensitivity. This course is open to students in the College of Liberal and Professional Studies only.

Introduction to the structure and function of the vertebrate nervous system. We begin with the cellular basis of neuronal activities, then discuss the physiological bases of motor control, sensory systems, motivated behaviors, and higher mental processes. This course is intended for students interested in the neurobiology of behavior, ranging from animal behaviors to clinical disorders.

This course examines the physiological mechanisms underlying homeostasis in humans. Integration from the cellular to organismal level as well as cooperation of multiple organ systems will be explored. Examples of pathophysiology during disease states will be discussed and highlighted. Although the focus will be on humans, we will study comparative aspects from other vertebrate and non-vertebrate organisms.

This is a course for PhD students in natural sciences with interests in applying latest machine learning and AI approaches to their problem domains. The course will consist of directed readings and covering available tutorials with weekly discussions. The goal is to motivate mutual self-learning through guided discussions. Weekly participation and completion of readings or other assigned materials is essential and lack of attendance will be graded. Topics to be covered will be decided after the first meeting. Prerequisites: multivariate calculus, linear algebra, statistics, and probability.

This course is a lab/lecture/seminar hybrid that will meet once per week for three hours. Each session will consist of mini-lecture/lab, paper discussions/lab, or solely lab efforts. All reading assignments will be available on Canvas (no textbook fees). We will exam various aspects of photosynthesis, water relations and nutrient acquisition in the context of the evolutionary progression of higher plants. With each subject, we will consider, measure, and in some cases model whole-plant physiology while examining sub-cellular-level controls and ecosystem-to-global-level consequences. This course is designed to give molecular biologists through earth-system scientists the tools to measure and understand whole-plant physiological responses to molecular manipulation and environmental variability. All students will learn to appreciate the context of their work on both micro and macro scales.
