5000 Level Courses
5112, 5212, 5312, 5612. Laboratory Methods (1:0:2, 2:0:4, 3:0:6, 6:0:12). Prerequisite: Consent of instructor. Taken as (1) a hands-on introduction to the laboratories in which a student may wish to do dissertation research or (2) after a student is well established in his or her dissertation research, additional rotations can be done to gain expertise in techniques applicable to the student’s research but not available in the faculty advisor’s laboratory. Repeatable if different methods are covered for each registration.
5113, 5213, 5313. Selected Topics in Cell and Developmental Biology (1:1:0, 2:2:0, 3:3:0). Topics vary from semester to semester and reflect the research interests of the faculty. Recent offerings have included oncogenes and molecular biology of hormone action. May be repeated provided that different topics are covered for each registration.
5121. Surgical Gross Anatomy (1:1:0). This block will provide an introduction and overview to surgical approaches to different regions of the human body from a clinical perspective. Students will observe and assist surgeons with surgical dissections of cadavers. The experience in surgical anatomy will provide students with a relevant correlation of anatomy to applied surgical procedures.
5331. Advanced Training in Histology (3:0:3). Students will participate in the histology laboratories as teaching assistants and attend all pre-laboratory meetings in preparation for the laboratory sessions. The students will also assist in preparing the practical exams. Prerequisites include successful completion of the first year course work of the Masters Track Program in Anatomy.
5332. Advanced Training in Anatomy (3:0:3). Students will participate in the gross anatomy laboratories as teaching assistants and attend all pre-laboratory meetings in preparation for the laboratory sessions. The students will also assist in preparing the practical exams. Prerequisites include successful completion of the first year course work of the Masters Track Program in Anatomy.
5340. Educational Project in Biomedical Sciences (3:0:0). A requirement of the Masters Track in Anatomy, students will design and carry out an educational project in either Anatomy or Histology. The project will be designed according to the needs of these courses and matched to the interest of the student. Projects might include self-directed learning units/sessions, or upgrading or creation of educational materials as presented on WebCT.
5510. Biology of Cells and Tissues (5:5:5). Biology of Cells and Tissues is designed to provide students with fundamental information concerning the traditional areas of biochemistry, genetics, and cell biology. The principles presented in this course will proceed from molecules to cells and then to tissues integrating structure and function.
5611. Gross Anatomy (6:2:10). A highly integrated introductory course of anatomical study (including human prosection) which embodies the gross morphology of the body and coordinates it with the clinical, developmental, and microscopic aspects of the human body.Back to Top

6000. Master’s Thesis (V1-6).
6340. Cell Structure and Function (3:3:0). Topics include structure/function relationships involved in DNA replication, transcription, protein tracking, cytoskeletal organization and function, cell division, and adhesion.
6620. Advanced Cell Biology (6:6:0). Prerequisite: GANM 6340. Covers advanced topics in cell biology and is designed for senior students who have completed introductory cell biology courses. The topics covered will include regulatory mechanisms that control the development of metazoan organisms, cell cycle regulation, cancer, and reproductive and stem cell biology.Back to Top
