BF 527: Application in Bioinformatics

The material will be presented in a case-based format, using real-world examples to investigate the most widely used bioinformatic applications, e.g., BLAST, Clustal, GRAIL, INSIGHT II, or RASMOL. We will address a broad range of biological questions currently addressed via genomic data, including sequence alignment, pattern recognition and identification, extrapolation of sequence to structure, and intermolecular interactions.

Physiology and biochemistry of the ovarian cycle, spermatogenesis, and fertilization. Hormonal control of gametogenesis and gestation. Biochemistry of accessory sex glands. Fertility and sterility. Problems of population control, birth control, and abortion. Three hours lecture, one hour discussion.

 

SPH EH 765: Survey of Environmental Health

The course considers the technical foundations of environmental hazards, their impacts on public health, and the role of social, political, and regulatory factors in assessing, controlling, and preventing environmental hazards.
