An opportunity for students interested in the respiratory system to focus on special topics in lung biology. This year's emphasis is on the fundamental physical basis and quantitative description of chemical, electrical, and mechanical signaling within the cell. Specific topics covered include passive diffusion, facilitated diffusion, solvent and solvent transport, channels, action potentials, membrane transport, and receptor-ligand binding.

Faculty present seminars on their current research in the biological sciences and direct a student discussion of the logic and experimental design of this research. Topics include chemical and viral carcinogenesis, DNA damage and repair, immunology, molecular biology, metabolism, cardiovascular disease, parasitology, and how these areas apply to public health issues.

A seminar course based on emerging research on the molecular effects of mutagenic, carcinogenic, and cytotoxic agents. Particular focus on the cellular mechanisms that preserve biological integrity (e.g., cell cycle checkpoints; DNA repair) or mediate cellular responses to stress (e.g., redox signal transduction; apoptosis pathways). Involves analysis and critical discussion of research papers. Written assignments in developing relevant research projects (mini-grant proposals).

We cover aspects of biochemistry, cell and molecular biology of protozoan parasites of humans, including: malaria, toxoplasma, leishmania, trypanosomes, amoebea and giardia. Includes in-depth discussions on comparative mechanisms of pathogenesis; unique parasite biochemistry and organelles; strategies/ molecular basis for host immune invasion; bioinformatics approaches to molecular pathogenesis.
