BIO 209B: The Human Genome and Disease: Genetic Diversity and Personalized Medicine (BIO 109B, BIOC 109B, BIOC 209B)

Continuation of 109A/209A. Genetic drift: the path of human predecessors out of Africa to Europe and then either through Asia to Australia or through northern Russia to Alaska down to the W. Coast of the Americas. Support for this idea through the histocompatibility genes and genetic sequences that predispose people to diseases. Guest lectures from academia and pharmaceutical companies. Prerequisite: Biology or Human Biology core. Students with a major, minor or coterm in Biology: 109A/209A or 109B/209B may count toward degree program but not both.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3

BIO 20N: Learning Creativity in Biology through Finding a Good Problem and Searching for Innovative Solutions

This course will explore how we can learn to be creative in biology. Examples of interesting problems include energy limitation, food security, species conservation and climate change. Once we agree on a problem to tackle, students will work in groups to find similar problems and solutions in other fields, construct a new solution together and debate positive and negative aspects of the solution to refine it. Students will gain experience in reading primary literature, innovative thinking, speaking and listening skills.

BIO 210: DNA Replication and Genomic Maintenance (BIO 110)

Maintenance of the genome and its accurate replication are prerequisites for life. DNA replication is also intricately connected to pathways for responding to genotoxic stress, which include inevitable collisions with transcription. In eukaryotes, DNA repair and replication are tightly connected to chromatin modification. Emphasis for lecture topics include: DNA-templated chromatin transactions; Chromatin manipulation during replication and DNA damage responses; Structural biology and molecular mechanisms of replication and DNA repair enzymes; Inducible responses to genotoxic stress; Relationships of DNA damage processing to mutagenesis, carcinogenesis, aging and human genetic disease.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3

BIO 212: Human Physiology (BIO 112, HUMBIO 133)

Human physiology will be examined by organ systems: respiratory, cardiovascular, renal, and gastrointestinal. Concepts of cell and molecular biology that underlie organ development, pathophysiology and opportunities for regenerative medicine will be introduced. Signaling and integrative control by the endocrine, autonomic and central nervous systems will be introduced. Prerequisite: Biology or Human Biology core.
Terms: Win | Units: 4
Instructors: Kao, P. (PI)

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

For Ph.D. students. Current research on cell structure, function, and dynamics. Topics include complex cell phenomena such as cell division, apoptosis, compartmentalization, transport and trafficking, motility and adhesion, differentiation, and multicellularity. Current papers from the primary literature. Prerequisite for advanced undergraduates: BIO 129A,B, and consent of instructor.
Terms: Win | Units: 4

BIO 218: Genetic Analysis of Biological Processes (BIO 118)

Genetic principles and their experimental applications. Emphasis is on the identification and use of mutations to study cellular function. Satisfies Central Menu Areas 1 or 2. Prerequisite: Biology core.
Terms: Win | Units: 4

BIO 220: Essential Mathematics for Research in Life and Social Sciences

Targeted review of mathematics for research in life (and social) sciences. Material includes: real and complex functions, sequences and series, essential calculus, linear algebra, probability, stochastic processes, model-building and introduction to Matlab. Links techniques to applications in research and modeling, particularly in population biology. Students will use online materials including lecture videos, problem sets, course notes, and self-paced tests.
Terms: Win | Units: 2

BIO 226: Introduction to Biophysics (APPPHYS 205, BIO 126)

Core course appropriate for advanced undergraduate students and graduate students with prior knowledge of calculus and a college physics course. Introduction to how physical principles offer insights into modern biology, with regard to the structural, dynamical, and functional organization of biological systems. Topics include the roles of free energy, diffusion, electromotive forces, non-equilibrium dynamics, and information in fundamental biological processes.
Terms: Win | Units: 3-4

BIO 227: Foundations of Community Ecology

Discussion of classic papers in community ecology (Forbes, Clements, Gleason, Grinnell, Lindeman, Preston, Elton, Hutchinson, May, MacArthur, Odum, Connell, Paine, Tilman, etc.) and contemporary papers on related topics, to develop historical perspectives to understand current issues and identify future directions. Prerequisite for undergraduates: consent of instructor.

BIO 230: Molecular and Cellular Immunology

Components of the immune system and their functions in immune responses in health and disease: development of the immune system; innate and adaptive immunity; structure and function of antibodies; molecular biology and biochemistry of antigen receptors and signaling pathways; cellular basis of immune responses and their regulation; genetic control of immune responses and disease susceptibility. Lectures and discussion in class and in sections. Satisfies Central Menu Areas 1 or 2. For upper class undergraduates and graduate students who have not previously taken an introductory immunology course. Prerequisite for undergraduates: Biology or Human Biology core, or consent of instructor.
