MI 115C: Human Virology Inquiry Project

Selected topics in human virology focusing on current issues in the field. Topics will include: clinical features of infection, epidemiology, molecular virology, drug development and policy, vaccinology, pathogenesis, host modulation, emerging infection, and media representations of viral infection. Student presentations and discussion in a small group setting. Prerequisite: concurrent enrollment in MI 155 Humans and Viruses.
Terms: Aut, Win | Units: 1 | Repeatable 3 times (up to 9 units total)
Instructors: ; Siegel, R. (PI)

MI 155C: Human and Viruses Part III (HUMBIO 155C)

Comprehensive survey of human virology integrating epidemiology, molecular biology, clinical sciences, social sciences, history, and the arts. Emphasis on host pathogen interactions and policy issues. Prerequisite: prior enrollment MI 155A/HUMBIO 155H and MI 155B/HUMBIO 155V and concurrent enrollment with MI 155D.

MI 155D: Human and Viruses Part IV (HUMBIO 155D)

Comprehensive survey of human virology integrating epidemiology, molecular biology, clinical sciences, social sciences, history, and the arts. Emphasis on host pathogen interactions and policy issues. Prerequisite: prior enrollment in MI 155A/HUMBIO 155H and MI 155B/HUMBIO 155V and concurrent enrollment with MI155C.

MI 185: Topics in Microbiology (MI 285)

For advanced undergraduates and graduate students. 1/3rd of the course consists of lectures by the instructor/colleagues. These cover, at an advanced level, with emphasis on bacteria, topics not covered elsewhere, e.g., phylogeny, molecular regulation, and bioenergetics. The remainder of the course involves interactive discussion of a topic of current interest in microbiology, chosen with student participation, and includes student presentations. (The topic last year was: Gene therapy.) Satisfies Central Menu Area 3 for BIO majors. Prerequisites: CHEM 31X, Biology core.
Terms: Win | Units: 3

MI 198: Directed Reading in Microbiology and Immunology

Fields of study are decided in consultation with sponsoring professor. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 1-15 | Repeatable for credit

MI 199: Undergraduate Research

Investigations sponsored by individual faculty members. Possible fields: microbial molecular biology and physiology, microbial pathogenicity, immunology, virology, and molecular parasitology. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 1-18 | Repeatable for credit

MI 214: Immunology: Homeostasis and Disease

We focus on how our bodies function as systems that live peacefully with helpful microbes and their own cells but must defend themselves against pathogens and cancer and sometimes make mistakes which lead to autoimmunity and allergy. We will cove the immune system and its interactions with other physiological systems (e.g., immune-nuero axis). Topics covered include: innate immune receptors; pathogen killing mechanisms; avoidance vs. resistance vs. disease tolerance; trained immunity; metabolism; antigen-presenting cells; cellular immune responses (innate and adaptive) against viruses, bacteria and parasites; cancer, autoimmunity and allergies; immunotherapies and vaccines.
Terms: Win | Units: 3

MI 215T: Teaching Virology

This course focuses on the pedagogy surrounding virology instruction. The course focuses on educational principles and uses a variety of formats including lectures, discussion, with emphasis on hands-on experience in the form of a teaching practicum. Topics includes syllabus organization, problem set, exam writing, grading rubrics, active learning, model building, stimulation discussion , the use of online media and evaluation.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 1-5 | Repeatable 3 times (up to 15 units total)

MI 250: Frontiers in Microbiology and Immunology

Required of first- and second-year students in Microbiology and Immunology. How to evaluate biological research. Held in conjunction with the Microbiology and Immunology Friday noon seminar series. Before the seminar, students and faculty discuss one or more papers from the speaker's primary research literature on a related topic. After the seminar, students meet informally with the speaker to discuss their research.

MI 370: Medical Scholars Research

Provides an opportunity for student and faculty interaction, as well as academic credit and financial support, to medical students who undertake original research. Enrollment is limited to students with approved projects.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 4-18 | Repeatable for credit

MI 399: Graduate Research

Students who have completed the necessary foundation courses undertake investigations in general bacteriology, bacterial physiology and ecology, bacterial genetics, microbial pathogenicity, immunology, parasitology, or virology sponsored by individual faculty members.
