  • BIOL 3370: Microbial Biology

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    This course is an introduction to the staggering diversity of form and function in the prokaryotic world. Topics will include aerobic and anaerobic respiration, highlighting oxygenic and anoxygenic photosynthesis; carbon and nitrogen fixation, stressing global nutrient cycles; environmental and metabolic control of gene expression, especially two-component signal transduction; and enzyme co-factor biosynthesis and function, emphasizing the vitamins. Major topics will be illustrated in a biological context using unusual and beguiling prokaryotic organisms. It is recommended that BIOL 3510 or CHEM 3510 is completed prior to taking this course. Prerequisites: "C-" or better in (BIOL 2020 OR BIOL 2021).

  • BIOL 3390: Musculoskeletal Anatomy

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    This course is designed to engage students in the qualitative analysis of complex human movement. Students will learn to integrate fundamental principles from skeletal muscle physiology, biomechanics, and musculoskeletal anatomy to analyze human movement. Additionally, students will investigate the evolutionary morphology of the human musculoskeletal system, critically evaluate musculoskeletal pathologies, and problem solve prevention, intervention, and adaptation scenarios.

  • BIOL 3400: Mathematics in Medicine

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    This course will develop 12 detailed case studies where mathematics has played a fundamental role in improving medical care. Each week will begin with the medical and biological background, showing both the underlying physiology and the medical problem, then move on to how mathematical or quantitative methods changed practice. Students will learn the underlying mathematical methods from the ground up, program simple simulations on the computer, and use the mathematics and computer simulations to evaluate the medical implications of different therapies or control measures. It is recommended that MATH 1170 or 1210 be completed prior to enrolling in this course.

  • BIOL 3440: Global Change Ecology

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    Global changes are occurring that impact biological systems. In this course we will study the impact of globalization, warming, a changing atmosphere, altered hydrologic and nutrient, land-use changes, and other human-related activities on the Earth's biological and ecological systems. Emphases are placed evaluating information; on understanding the linkages between biological-physical processes; the impacts of humans in the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems; and consideration of both impacts and solutions to the challenges of global changes. Current global-scale issues, such as climate, biodiversity, sustainability, and ecosystem goods and services are examined from a scientific basis with the goal of understanding impacts and proposed solutions that will influence both natural systems as well as human society in 21st century
