1 - 10 of 23 results for: MI

MI 104: Innate Immunology (IMMUNOL 204, MI 204)

Innate immune mechanisms as the only defenses used by the majority of multicellular organisms. Topics include Toll signaling, NK cells, complement, antimicrobial peptides, phagocytes, neuroimmunity, community responses to infection, and the role of native flora in immunity. How microbes induce and defeat innate immune reactions, including examples from vertebrates, invertebrates, and plants.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3

MI 116: The Human Virosphere (MI 216)

Focus on interaction of humans and viruses from a number of perspectives: historical, cultural, political, and demographic. Organismal, molecular biological, biochemical, human and viral interactions; clinical aspects of viral disease, epidemiology and risk factors, public and international health, aspects of virology including emerging viruses and biological weapons. Case studies involving particular viruses: human herpes viruses, retroviruses, oncogenic viruses; vaccination and disease eradication, evolution of viruses as tools for research and therapy. Emphasis on general principles of biology and matters of decision making policy. Prerequisite: Biology core, Human Biology core, or consent of instructor.
Instructors: Siegel, R. (PI)

MI 17SC: Smallpox: Lethal Legacy, Forbidding Future

Case studies related to the evolutionary origins of smallpox, monkeypox, and other emerging pox infections. Topics include public health policy, socio-cultural factors related to pox eradication, research funding, and the use of pox viruses in bioterrorism and as vectors for gene therapy. Fieldtrips and guest speakers on the development of novel drugs, personal accounts of the eradication efforts, current clinical trials for pox vaccines, and current laboratory studies of pox.

MI 185: Topics in Microbiology (MI 285)
