1 - 10 of 23 results for: BIOC

BIOC 118Q: Genomics and Medicine

Preference to sophomores. Knowledge gained from sequencing human, bacterial, and viral genomes and implications for medicine and biomedical research. Novel diagnoses (chips, SNPs and gene expression) and treatment of diseases including gene therapy, stem cell therapy, and rational drug design. Ethical implications of stem cell therapy and uses of genetic information. Use of genome and disease databases to determine gene function in disease, diagnosis, and potential treatments. See http://biochem118.stanford.edu/.
Terms: Aut, Win | Units: 3 | UG Reqs: GER:DB-EngrAppSci, WAY-SMA

BIOC 199: Undergraduate Research

Students undertake investigations sponsored by individual faculty members. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 1-18 | Repeatable for credit

BIOC 200: Applied Biochemistry

Enrollment limited to MD candidates. Fundamental concepts of biochemistry as applied to clinical medicine. Topics include thermodynamics, enzyme kinetics, vitamins and cofactors, metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids and nucleotides, and the integration of metabolic pathways. Clinical case studies discussed in small-group, problem-based learning sessions.
Terms: Aut | Units: 1

BIOC 205: Molecular Foundations of Medicine

For medical students. Topics include DNA structure, replication, repair, and recombination; gene expression, including mechanisms for regulating transcription and translation; chromosome structure and function; and methods for manipulating DNA, RNA, and proteins. Patient presentations and journal clubs illustrate how molecular biology affects the practice of medicine.
Terms: Aut | Units: 3

BIOC 215: Frontiers in Biological Research (DBIO 215, GENE 215)

Literature discussion in conjunction with the Frontiers in Biological Research seminar series in which investigators present current work. Students and faculty meet beforehand to discuss papers from the speaker¿s primary research literature. Students meet with the speaker after the seminar to discuss their research and future direction, commonly used techniques to study problems in biology, and comparison between the genetic and biochemical approaches in biological research.
Terms: Aut, Win | Units: 1 | Repeatable 3 times (up to 3 units total)

BIOC 218: Computational Molecular Biology (BIOMEDIN 231)

For molecular biologists and computer scientists. Representation and analysis of genomes, sequences, and proteins. Strengths and limitations of existing methods. Course work performed on web or using downloadable applications. See http://biochem218.stanford.edu/. Prerequisites: introductory molecular biology course at level of BIOSCI 41 or consent of instructor. All offerings are via internet only.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr | Units: 3
Instructors: Brutlag, D. (PI)

BIOC 220: Chemistry of Biological Processes (CSB 220)

The principles of organic and physical chemistry as applied to biomolecules. Goal is a working knowledge of chemical principles that underlie biological processes, and chemical tools used to study and manipulate biological systems. Prerequisites: organic chemistry and biochemistry, or consent of instructor.
Terms: Spr | Units: 4
Instructors: Wandless, T. (PI)

BIOC 221: The Teaching of Biochemistry

Required for teaching assistants in Biochemistry. Practical experience in teaching on a one-to-one basis, and problem set design and analysis. Familiarization with current lecture and text materials; evaluations of class papers and examinations. Prerequisite: enrollment in the Biochemistry Ph.D. program or consent of instructor.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 3 | Repeatable for credit

BIOC 224: Advanced Cell Biology (BIO 214, MCP 221)

Terms: Win | Units: 2-5

BIOC 226: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Biochemistry: Single Molecule Biophysics to Clinical Outcomes

Interdisciplinary analyses from basic biochemistry and biophysics to clinical outcomes of disease states and potential therapeutic interventions (translational research). Focus on cardiac system. Cardiomyopathies arise from missense mutations in cardiac muscle proteins, including the cardiac myosin motor. Single molecule biophysics and classical enzyme kinetics and use of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) and single cell studies lay foundation for discussions of effects of cardiomyopathy mutations on heart function. Potential therapeutic approaches discussed, including genetic analysis, DNA cloning, reconstitution of functional assemblies, x-ray diffraction and 3D reconstruction of electron microscope images, spectroscopic methods, computational approaches, single molecule biophysics, use of induced pluripotent stem cells in research, and other interdisciplinary approaches. Current papers examined. Prerequisites: basic biochemistry.
