Introduction to Protein Structure: From Disease to Therapy
4.0 units
Proteins are involved in almost every physiological process that occurs within the body. They are necessary for countless metabolic processes, including converting glucose into energy, carrying oxygen in your blood, and recognizing and destroying foreign pathogens. Knowing the structure of the proteins that perform these essential functions is paramount to understanding how they work normally and why mutations lead to disease. Although proteins are involved in innumerable diseases, they may also be key in the development of therapeutic treatments. By understanding protein structure, scientists can design small molecules and even novel proteins that can treat a variety of diseases. This course provides an introduction to protein and nucleic acid structure as it relates to the essential functions that these macromolecules perform within cells. Lectures focus on how protein structure relates to a variety of common human pathologies and on the therapies that are used to treat these diseases.

Cancer Biology
4.0 units
Cancer accounts for nearly one in four deaths in the United States, and the cost to individuals and society is staggering at $217 billion each year. While billions of dollars are also spent on funding research that will help determine the causes, development, and progression of cancer, there is much more to learn in order to prevent and treat cancer effectively. This course explores the molecular and cellular biology of cancer, as well as reviews the current advances in therapy. The course is divided into two parts. The first part examines the nature and causes of cancer and provides an overview of important signaling mechanisms, and the second part emphasizes how cancer metastasizes and advances in treatment.

PATH X 401
Introduction to Molecular Diagnostics, Pharmacogenetics, and Personalized Medicine
4.0 units
Variations in human DNA over generations result in evolution and beneficial adaptations. However, some changes in human DNA that cause genetic variation occasionally result in genetic disorders. The field of molecular diagnostics focuses on the development of tests that aid in the diagnosis and prognosis of disease, as well as predict disease risk. The information gained by this type of diagnostics can identify the abnormal molecules that signify the presence or potential for disease in individuals. As a result, clinicians can now prescribe drugs or other therapies that target the specific abnormal function. The emerging field of pharmacogenetics aims at predicting the drug response based on an individual’s genetic profile, thus helping clinicians to tailor effective treatments. This course overviews the basic principles of molecular diagnostics and pharmacogenetics and the applications of the emerging technologies in personalized medicine. Students learn about the clinical applications of molecular diagnostic in patients with cancer, inherited disease, and infectious disease. The course concludes with detailed discussions on personalized medicine and the pros, cons, ethics, challenges, strategies, and public policy related to this emerging field.
Prerequisite(s): Introductory courses in Molecular Biology, Genetics, and Biochemistry, or equivalent coursework.

MATH X 402.1
Introduction to Calculus
4.0 units
This course covers the different applications of both differential and integral calculus to representative problems characteristic of the public and private economic sectors. Major topics covered in differential calculus include optimization, applications of the first and second derivatives that will find the optimized and inflection values of various functions, integral calculus, and procedures for finding either area under one curve or between two curves. Students are expected to apply the relevant techniques from differential and integral calculus in a wide variety of real-world contexts related to the problem-solving needs of public and private sector organizations. Upon completing this course, students should be able to take first derivatives of functions to find minimum and maximum values and take second derivatives to find inflection points of a function. Students are expected to understand the fundamental theorem of calculus and its implications for applied real-world problems.
