Correlation between morphological and functional changes caused by toxicants in different organs of the body. | 3 | 3 | | MICROBIO/ONCOLOGY 545 | TOPICS IN BIOTECHNOLOGY | Seminars on current topics in agricultural, medical, and industrial biotechnology such as: microbiological production of food, drink, biopharmaceuticals; production methods, genetic engineering (vectors, recombination cloning), continuous fermentation; bioconversion processes and production of chemicals from biomass; plant biotechnology; transgenic animals. | | | | MM\&I/ONCOLOGY/PLPATH 640 | GENERAL VIROLOGY-MULTIPLICATION OF VIRUSES | The structure, multiplication, genetics, pathology and control of animal and plant viruses. | 3 | 3 | | ONCOLOGY 401 | INTRODUCTION TO EXPERIMENTAL ONCOLOGY | Biological processes associated with and characteristic of neoplasia. | 2 | 2 | | ONCOLOGY 673 | PURIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PROTEIN AND PROTEIN COMPLEXES | The theory and practice of protein purification. Topics covered include conventional and recent protein fractionation techniques; enzyme assays, handling, and characterization; purification strategy; and overproduction of cloned gene products. The emphasis is on micro and laboratory scale purifications. | | | | ONCOLOGY 675 | ADVANCED OR SPECIAL TOPICS IN CANCER RESEARCH | Examines special topics in cancer research. Topics and content will vary each semester and by section of the course. | 1 | 3 | | ONCOLOGY 699 | SPECIAL RESEARCH PROBLEMS | Directed study projects as arranged with instructor. | 1 | 3 | | ONCOLOGY 703 | CARCINOGENESIS AND TUMOR CELL BIOLOGY | Viral, chemical, and physical factors involved in tumor formation in humans and experimental animals; biology and biochemistry of neoplasia, both in vivo and in vitro. | 3 | 3 | | ONCOLOGY 725 | READINGS IN CANCER BIOLOGY | A review and discussion of the current literature on topics related to cancer biology. The emphasis is on the development of skills in data analysis, critical interpretation, and clear writing. | | | | ONCOLOGY 735 | GRANT WRITING IN CANCER BIOLOGY | Scientific writing. Evaluation of exemplar fellowship applications. Creation of a research proposal with iterative, constructive feedback. Constructive, articulate feedback on classmates' writing. | | | | ONCOLOGY 745 | MODELING HUMAN DISEASE IN ANIMALS | Provides a background in the use of animals in the study of human disease and hands-on exposure to common techniques such as tissue collection and processing, surgeries, imaging, and other manipulations. Lectures by basic scientists and clinicians will provide background about each of the organ systems or diseases and the ethics of animal research. Prior to start of course, completion of online animal safety training. Instructions will be provided after enrollment. | | | | ONCOLOGY 778 | BIOINFORMATICS FOR BIOLOGISTS | Become familiar with bioinformatics theory and principles. Provides real-world experience that can be applied to your own work. Provides a foundation of knowledge that can be used to critically evaluate existing bioinformatics tools that can be used in your work, and in the absence of an appropriate tool, identify the analyses that demand the development of novel tools. | | | | ONCOLOGY 901 | SEMINAR | Critical review of selected topics in cancer research. | 1 | 1 | | ONCOLOGY 990 | RESEARCH | Independent research and writing for graduate students under the supervision of a faculty member. | 1 | 12 |
