  • MICR 3012: GLB Micro & Global Public Hlth

    2.00 Credits
    Weber State University

    This course focuses on microbial diseases that are major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide (e.g. HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, influenza, etc.), diseases that are classified as emerging diseases (e.g. Ebola) and diseases that are being eliminated or eradicated, including certain Neglected Tropical Diseases. This course will analyze the pathogenesis, life cycles, epidemiology and societal impacts of these diseases, while emphasizing preventative interventions such as vaccinations, water, and sewage treatment, and elimination and eradication strategies. The role of various agencies (e.g. WHO and CDC) in improving global health will also be discussed. This course consists of 1 two-hour lecture per week.

  • MICR 3154: CRE Microbial Ecology

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Weber State University

    Microbial Ecology is the study of microorganisms in their natural habitats and their interactions with other living organisms. Topics explored in this course include the evolution of life on Earth, the diversity of microorganisms, microbial biogeography, symbiotic microbial interactions, and biogeochemical cycles. Current and historical research in microbial ecology is emphasized throughout the course. The laboratory experiments may involve isolating, identifying, and studying novel microorganisms from unique environments, studying environmental microbiomes, finding novel antibiotic producing organisms, and modeling biogeochemical cycles. Experimental techniques used in the laboratory involve advanced methods of cultivation, molecular identification techniques, and chemical assays. This course consists of 3 one-hour lectures and 1 three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite:    CHEM 1210 and CHEM 1215 and MICR 2054

  • MICR 3203: Immune System in Hlth/Disease

    3.00 Credits
    Weber State University

    This course will focus on the study of the human immune system and its role in health and disease. The course topics include the innate and adaptive immune responses and their role in host defense as well as immunodeficiency and hypersensitivity responses. Manipulation of the immune system through pharmacological means, vaccination or transplantation will also be studied. This course is intended for the student studying Medical Lab Sciences or someone who wants to know more about the human immune system and who has already taken a course in Microbiology. The course is not intended as a first course in biology and it cannot be used as a Microbiology elective course for Microbiology majors. This course is only offered online with the exception of Fall Semester which also offers a face-to-face option consisting of 3 one-hour lectures per week.
