BIOS 233: Experimental Metagenomics: Nectar Microbes as a Model System

Preference to graduate students and post-docs; open to upper-level undergraduates with instructor consent. Emphasis on developing a practical understanding of how to conduct metagenomic research by combining cutting-edge molecular sequencing with experimental ecological approaches. Focuses on the community ecology of the bacterial and yeast species that colonize floral nectar via pollinators and the implications for plant-pollinator interactions within an agriculturally relevant framework. Ecological, evolutionary, and phylogenetic principles and microbiological and molecular techniques that will be taught are broadly applicable in many biological fields, including the medical ecology of hte human microbiome. Inquiry-based with individual student-led projects.

BIOS 234: 21st Century Approaches to Neglected Tropical Diseases

The World Health Organization defines Neglected Tropical Diseases as "a diverse group of conditions that are mainly prevalent in tropical areas, where they mostly affect impoverished communities and disproportionately affect women and children." Notably, the vast majority of NTDs are infectious diseases. While the average American never is plagued by these diseases, COVID-19 has opened our eyes to taking a more global approach to health, and emphasized the importance of investing in infectious disease research. Through this course, students will discuss and understand how and why infectious diseases have become "neglected" and the modern approaches currently being taken at Stanford and beyond to combat NTDs.
