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: Spr, Sum | Units: 1-5 | Repeatable 3 times (up to 15 units total)
Instructors: Siegel, R. (PI)

MI 216: The Human Virosphere (MI 116)

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.
Last offered: Winter 2011

MI 218: Computational Analysis of Biological Information: Introduction to Python for Biologists (GENE 218, PATH 218)

Computational tools for processing, interpretation, communication, and archiving of biological information. Emphasis is on sequence and digital microscopy/image analysis. Intended for biological and clinical trainees without substantial programming experience.
Terms: Sum | Units: 2
Instructors: Fire, A. (PI)

MI 221: Gut Microbiota in Health and Disease (BIOE 221G, GENE 208)

Preference to graduate students. Focus is on the human gut microbiota. Students enrolling for 3 units receive instruction on computational approaches to analyze microbiome data and must complete a related project.
Terms: Spr | Units: 2-3

MI 225: Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers

Explores four families of human viruses (falviviruses, filoviruses, bunyaviruses, arenaviruses) that share certain clinical and pathological features. These families used to illustrate more general features of human virology ranging from molecular virology, viral replication cycles, transmission, clinical presentation, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, epidemiology, public health responses, public policy, economics. After general introduction, each family will be presented, followed by sessions focused on comparisons and integration. Specific case studies focus on current events. Student assignments include problem sets, model-building, blogging, and comprehensive examinations. In-class sessions will include interactive lectures, guest speakers, students presentations, discussions.
Last offered: Spring 2016

MI 245: Computational Modeling of Microbial Communities (BIOE 115)

Provides biologists with basic computational tools and knowledge to confront large datasets in a quantitative manner. Students learn basic programming skills focused on Matlab, but also are introduced to Perl and Python. Topics include: image analysis, bioinformatics algorithms, reaction diffusion modeling, Monte Carlo algorithms, and population dynamics. Students apply computational skills to a miniature research project studying the human gut microbiota.
Last offered: Spring 2014

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.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr | Units: 1 | Repeatable for credit
Instructors: Monack, D. (PI)

MI 285: Topics in Microbiology (MI 185)

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
Instructors: Matin, A. (PI)

MI 299: Directed Reading in Microbiology and Immunology

Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 1-18 | Repeatable for credit

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
