BIO 191: Evolutionary Genomics (BIO 332)

Half of the class will be reading/presenting classic and modern papers relevant to evolutionary genomics, in a "journal club" format. We will cover a broad range of topics, methods, and species. The other half will be devoted to evolutionary genomic data analysis: pairs of students will choose a data set (either their own data or published data) and a specific question, and then work throughout the quarter to answer their question.

BIO 199W: Senior Honors Thesis: How to Effectively Write About Scientific Research

The goal of this class is to support students in developing effective scientific communication skills. It is designed to serve students working to complete a thesis based on a research project, often for Honors. In this class, students will craft elevator pitches, create and improve each section of the thesis, and practice the presentation of scientific information in the context of their own research project. Emphasis will be on building and practicing the skills for 1) completing your thesis, poster and preparing for presentation of the project and 2) gaining a conceptual understanding of effective scientific writing and communication that will be applicable more broadly. Satisfies the WIM requirement in Biology.

BIO 204: Neuroplasticity: From Synapses to Behavior

This course will focus on neuroplasticity from a broad perspective, from molecular cellular mechanism to its involvement in behavior and diseases. Emphasis will be on: a) molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying various forms of neuroplasticity; b) the neuroplasticity during brain development; c) the neuroplasticity in adult brain with respect to learning and memory; and d) maladaptive neuroplasticity in neurodegenerative disease and drug addiction. This course is designed for Ph.D. students from both the Biology and Neuroscience programs. Open to advanced undergraduates by consent of instructor.

BIO 211: Proteostasis: From Basic Principles to Aging and Neurodegeneration

Proteostasis, or protein homeostasis, is emerging as the central cellular process controlling the stability, function, and quality control of the proteome. The proteostasis machinery maintains the function of destabilized and mutant proteins, assists the degradation of damaged and aggregated proteins, and monitors the health of the proteome, adjusting it in response to environmental or metabolic stresses. Most mutations linked to disease act by challenging the structure, stability or function of proteins. Thus, understanding and manipulating proteostasis could hold the key for the therapeutic treatment of a wide range of diseases. Cellular proteostasis declines during aging, leading to increased prevalence of late-onset aggregation-linked amyloid diseases implicated in many devastating neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS). We will discuss basic and translational advances of the Proteostasis field and their potential to lead to novel therapies for a wide range more »

We will discuss basic and translational advances of the Proteostasis field and their potential to lead to novel therapies for a wide range of diseases including neurodegeneration, cancer, cardiomyopathy, cystic fibrosis, cataract, metabolic deficiencies and other chronic maladies. Topics to be Covered: 1. Protein Folding and the Molecular Chaperone Concept; 2. Mechanisms and Principle of Molecular Chaperone Action; 3. What is Proteostasis: protein folding and homeostasis in vivo; 4. The Ubiquitin Proteasome pathway and Protein Quality Control; 5. Protein Aggregation, Amyloids and Neurodegenerative Disease; 6. Proteostasis dysfunction and ageing; 7. Therapeutics targeting "proteostasis."
