• GMS MS 795: Biomedical Laboratory Techniques or Essential Biomedical Techniques
  This course will focus on the fundamental laboratory skills that students need to prepare for a career in the biomedical sciences. The course emphasizes both the theoretical and applied aspects of basic methodologies in research. The course is reinforced with applied, hands-on laboratory sessions that would provide practical experience in the topics covered in the preceding lectures. The small class size ensures that all students are provided with adequate hands-on time and adequate time for interaction with course instructors. The course will focus on providing students with a set of basic laboratory skills such as safety practices, laboratory mathematics, documentation, and good laboratory ethics. Students will also be educated in research methodology, data analysis, and data presentation. Topics covered include solution chemistry; protein extraction and detection using Western blot and ELISA; the basic principles of immunohistochemistry; cell culture basics; and RNA extraction. fall, 4cr
• GMS MS 800: Microbes and Methods: Selected topics in outbreak investigations
  This course provides an overview of the important concepts fundamental to the understanding, design, and conduct of infectious disease outbreak investigations. The course will cover three aspects of outbreaks: 1. The epidemiology and pathophysiology of selected infectious diseases. 2. Methodological issues related to investigating an outbreak. 3. Practical aspects of outbreak investigations (including communicating risk to the public). The course will address common causes of outbreaks in this country (such as diarrheal/foodborne and respiratory diseases and outbreaks in hospitals). Issues pertinent to outbreak investigations in the developing world are also discussed. The course format consists of a series of lectures by faculty and guests, discussion sessions, hands-on experience with outbreak investigation data, and directed readings from the current literature. 2 cred.
