BIO525 Medical Genetics

This course will involve basic principles of heredity (including cytogenetics, molecular and mendelian genetics) and the processes that lead to genetic variability in humans. Additionally, how different genetic mutations and chromosomal abnormalities can give rise to genetic disorders will be examined. Through a few select genetic disorders, awareness of their genetic causes, genetic testing, clinical manifestations of genetic diseases, as well as physical, psychological and social impacts of these disorders on patients will be explored, as well as recent discoveries from human genomics and pharmacogenetics that have influenced postsymptomatic treatment strategies and presymptomatic prevention-based healthcare. The course will also include problem-based learning to solve a range of genetic problems to enhance the integration of skills and knowledge from many fields. (4 units; Fall)

The course will consider drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination, and pharmacodynamic effects on the human body. Prescription drug classification, function and uses will be introduced with emphasis on the impact medically prescribed drugs will have on the patient. Students will increase their understanding of drug design and action, as well as their understanding of disease and pharmacotherapeutic treatment. Prerequisite: BIO 523. (4 units; Spring)

Biostatistics provides an introduction to selected important topics in bio-statistical concepts and reasoning. This course represents an introduction to the field and provides a survey of data and data types. Specific topics include tools for describing central tendency and variability in data; methods for performing inference on population means and proportions via sample data; statistical hypothesis testing and its application to group comparisons; issues of power and sample size in study designs; and random sample and other study types. While there are some formulae and computational elements to the course, the emphasis is on interpretation and concepts. Prerequisite: STA 144. (3 units; As offered & Online)
