GENE 104Q: Law and the Biosciences

Preference to sophomores. Focus is on human genetics; also assisted reproduction and neuroscience. Topics include forensic use of DNA, genetic testing, genetic discrimination, eugenics, cloning, pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, neuroscientific methods of lie detection, and genetic or neuroscience enhancement. Student presentations on research paper conclusions.
Terms: Aut | Units: 3 | UG Reqs: WAY-ER, Writing 2
Instructors: Greely, H. (PI)

GENE 113: AI, Genes and Ethics (GENE 213)

What is AI and why is it sometimes biased ? How will AI affect medicine to help us but also what are the conditions in which it may harm us. 95% of single-gene diseases we know of have no effective treatment yet if we change a defective one how might that affect a species in the long term ? Is DNA 'the code of life?' Or is the 'code of life' the whole living organism in its complex, dynamic relationship with its environment? Will Earth one day be populated by beings who are different from us in their cognitive and physical abilities. This course will look at the intersection of AI and Genetics to analyze advances that could be made but also ethical questions that should be asked. The course is designed to be accessible to many disciplines and there are no pre-requisites.

GENE 125: Healthcare Venture Capital

How are healthcare startups financed? Venture funds invest in risky companies but how do they themselves get funded, and how do they evaluate companies? How do company founders prepare for capital raising? How does intellectual property play? We explain both from the investor and founder viewpoints to analyze how to a) start a venture capital fund; b) present a healthcare company to a venture fund. We discuss financial frameworks specifically for the healthcare sector and how it differs to other segments. Additionally, guest lectures from venture capitalists, angel investors, and company founders will explain their respective perspectives.

GENE 126: LONGEVITY VENTURE CAPITAL

Longevity covers therapeutics, robotics, and fintech. Yet as an emerging industry how do these get financed when they are so risky? How should venture firms evaluate longevity companies and how should founders attract investors and employees? This course will look at these questions specifically as applied to longevity, uniquely from the investor, scientist, and the founder viewpoint. After providing a foundation to the field we will interact with guest lectures from investors, scientists and company founders who can explain their respective perspectives. The course will cover finance and science aspects of longevity though no pre-requisites are expected.

GENE 199: Undergraduate Research

Students undertake investigations sponsored by individual faculty members. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 1-18 | Repeatable for credit

GENE 202: Human Genetics

Utilizes lectures and small group activities to develop a working knowlege of human genetics as applicable to clinical medicine. Basic principles of inheritance, risk assessment, and population genetics are illustrated using examples drawn from diverse areas of medical genetics practice including prenatal, pediatric, adult and cancer genetics. Practical aspects of molecular and cytogenetic diagnostic methods are emphasized. Existing and emerging treatment strategies for single gene disorders are also covered. Prerequisites: basic genetics. Only available to MD and MOM students.
Terms: Aut | Units: 4

GENE 205: Advanced Genetics

For PhD students in any of the Biosciences Departments and Programs at Stanford University. Emphasis on developing the ability to solve problems using genetic ideas and methods, to understand the nature and reliability of genetic inference, and to apply genetic reasoning to biological research. Weekly paper discussions based on original research papers that define or illustrate the ideas and techniques covered in the lecture.
Terms: Win | Units: 3

GENE 207: Microfluidic Device Laboratory (BIOE 301D)

BIOE 301D is a hands-on laboratory class designed to teach students the basics of microfluidic device design, fabrication, operation, and troubleshooting. During the first week of class, life science and clinical labs across campus will come and pitch ideas for devices that would advance their own research. Students will then choose projects, form teams, and attempt to create devices to meet these needs via two design/build/test iterations. In the process, students will learn how to design efficient experiments, navigate uncertainty, and communicate with end users and consider their needs. BIOE 301D is an intensive 3-4 unit course that requires significant student effort and enrollment is limited to 15 students due to space constraints within the Microfluidics Foundry. To prioritize students likely to get the most out of the course, we will ask students to fill out a course application form prior to the start of spring quarter; priority will be given to students that need this course as a requirement to graduate
Terms: Spr | Units: 3-4

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

Preference to graduate students. Focus is on the human gut microbiota. Students will receive instruction on computational approaches to analyze microbiome data and must complete a related project.
