PATH 101: Cancer Biology (CBIO 101)

Experimental approaches to understanding the origins, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. Focus on key experiments and discoveries with emphasis on genetics, molecular biology, and cell biology. Topics include carcinogens, tumor virology, oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, cell cycle regulation, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis, cancer genomics, cancer epidemiology, and cancer therapies. Discussion sections based on primary research articles that describe key experiments in the field. Satisfies Central Menu Areas 1 or 2 for Bio majors. Prerequisite: Biology or Human Biology core or equivalent, or consent of instructor.

PATH 103Q: Lymphocyte Migration

Preference to sophomores. Lymphocytes migrate from blood vessels into tissues to participate in immune surveillance and the development of inflammation. The lymphocyte and blood vessel endothelia molecules that control lymphocyte migration, and are implicated in the development of human diseases such as asthma, type 1 diabetes, and multiple sclerosis are discussed.

PATH 206: Epigenetics (BIO 156, BIO 256, GENE 206)

For graduate students in the Biosciences and upper level Biology undergraduates. Mechanisms by which phenotypes not determined by the DNA sequence are stably inherited in successive cell divisions. From the discovery of position-effect variegation in Drosophila in the 1920s to present-day studies of covalent modifications of histones and DNA methylation. Topics include: position effect, gene silencing, heterochromatin, centromere identity, genomic imprinting, histone code, variant histones, and the role of epigenetics in cancer. Prerequisite: BIO41 and BIO42 , or GENE 203, or consent of instructor.
Terms: alternate years, given next year | Units: 2 | Grading: Letter or Credit/No Credit

PATH 210: Stem Cells in Development and Disease

Molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the basic self-renewal and differentiation properties of stem cells in multiple tissues and organisms. How abnormal stem cell behavior may contribute to diseases such as cancer. How to manipulate stem cell behavior in vitro or in vivo for therapeutic purposes. Classical papers and recent literatures in the field of stem cell biology. Open to graduate, medical, and advanced undergraduate students. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
Terms: not given this year | Units: 1-2 | Grading: Medical Option (Med-Ltr-CR/NC)

PATH 213: Gross Autopsy Pathology Laboratory

Examine/discuss unfixed dissected organs from current autopsies and correlate morphologic findings with the clinical history. Students view postmortem examinations and may participate (in a small group) in one postmortem examination with the assistance of residents and staff, and present the case to the class. Class scheduling is flexible. Additional unit for participation in a postmortem examination. Class may not be repeated. Prerequisite: HHD221.
Terms: Aut, Win | Units: 2-3 | Grading: Medical School MD Grades
Instructors: Regula, D. (PI)

PATH 218: Computational Analysis of Biological Information: Introduction to Python for Biologists (GENE 218, MI 218)

Physical and computational tools for acquisition, processing, interpretation, and archiving of biological images. Emphasis is on digital microscopy. Intended for biological and clinical trainees without substantial programming experience.
Terms: Sum | Units: 2 | Grading: Medical Option (Med-Ltr-CR/NC)
Instructors: Fire, A. (PI)

PATH 233: The Biology of Small Modulatory RNAs (GENE 233, MI 233)

Open to graduate and medical students. Explores recent progress and unsolved questions in the field of RNA intereference and microRNA biology. Students are required to read assigned primary literature before each class and actively participate in guided discussions on related technical and conceptual issues during class meetings. Assignments include critiques of assigned papers and developing a novel research proposal.
Terms: not given this year | Units: 2 | Grading: Medical Option (Med-Ltr-CR/NC)

PATH 234: Fundamentals of RNA Biology (GENE 234, MI 234)

For graduate or medical students and (if space allows) to active participants from other segments of the Stanford Community (e.g., TGR students); undergraduates by instructor consent. Fundamental issues of RNA biology, with the goal of setting a foundation for students to explore the expanding world of RNA-based regulation. Each week a topic is covered by a faculty lecture and journal club presentations by students.
Terms: alternate years, given next year | Units: 2 | Grading: Medical Option (Med-Ltr-CR/NC)

PATH 240: Clinical Studies in Pathology I

A broad exposure to the practice of pathology in an academic medical center. Students are assigned a faculty mentor and work closely with pathology residents, fellows and faculty. Two months are spent in surgical pathology where students help examine surgical resection specimens and biopsies and participate in making a final diagnosis. One month is spent in autopsy pathology where students perform autopsy prosections and formulate final anatomic diagnoses under the supervision of faculty. This course must be combined with Clinical Studies in Pathology II, and two additional quarters of PATH 399, Directed Research, to fulfill a 12 month Post-Sophomore year Fellowship in Pathology. Prerequisite: MD candidate; instructor consent.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 3-9 | Grading: Medical School MD Grades
Instructors: Connolly, A. (PI) ; Higgins, J. (PI) ; Natkunam, Y. (PI)
