BIOS 225: Diversity and Inclusion in STEMM

Introduction to the social science literature on factors contributing to gender disparities in the scientific workplace (e.g. implicit bias and stereotype threat). Discussions focus on steps that individuals and institutions can take to promote the advancement of women and other underrepresented groups in science, and thus promote the advancement of science.
Terms: Spr | Units: 1-2
Instructors: Goodman, M. (PI)

BIOS 226: Web3, AI, and Digital Health

This interdisciplinary course explores the convergence of Web3 technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), and their transformative impact on the field of digital health. Students will examine the potential of decentralized systems, blockchain, and smart contracts to enhance health data privacy, security, and interoperability. Through case studies and hands-on projects, they will gain insights into AI-driven solutions for personalized healthcare, remote patient monitoring, medical image analysis, and clinical decision support. Additionally, students will critically analyze ethical and regulatory considerations in the context of Web3 and AI applications, fostering a deeper understanding of the future of digital health innovation.

BIOS 263: Applied Grant-Writing Skills for Fellowships

Graduate students in the Biosciences PhD Programs develop a fellowship proposal (e.g. NIH F31) focusing on required documents: 1-page specific aims as well as research and career development plans. Students establish a writing practice and learn fundamental grant writing skills through guided exercises, including in-class review and focused faculty feedback.
Terms: Spr | Units: 2 | Repeatable 10 times (up to 20 units total)
Instructors: Botham, C. (PI)

BIOS 265: Introduction to Quantitative Reasoning in Biology

Mini-course. Focus on development of basic skills for quantitative reasoning in biology, including order-of-magnitude estimation and use of the broad spectrum of time scales to enable understanding. Primary examples include going from molecular size and energy scales to functions of single cells and going from mutational and selective processes acting on organisms to evolution of populations on laboratory and global scales. Examples will include processes relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic.

BIOS 299: Online Proposal Bootcamp

This 9-week Proposal Bootcamp guides grant writers through the process of developing a compelling fellowship (e.g., NIH F31, F32) or career development award (e.g., NIH K99/R00, K01, K08, etc.). Participants gain new grant writing skills through synchronous, including Mini Lectures and Grant Coach Office Hours, and asynchronous, including recorded videos and readings, activities. Students and postdocs join our award-winning peer review program for feedback on key proposal documents. This Bootcamp is 100% remote and open to all Stanford affiliates.
Terms: Aut, Spr | Units: 2 | Repeatable 2 times (up to 4 units total)

BIOS 412: Antibody Anywhere All at Once: An Introduction to Techniques in Immunology

This 2-week mini course will provide an introduction to commonly used techniques in immunology. Students will gain the confidence and relevant background to understand current immunology literature and design/analyze their own experiments. Topics for discussion will include flow cytometry, cytokine/antibody assays, animal models, specific sequencing pipelines, and more. Classes will be lecture-based with the opportunity to explore applications of these techniques related to students? own research interests. As this will be an introductory course, all immunology backgrounds are welcome.

BIOS 418: Generating Models for Biological Processes Using Core Principles from Chemistry and Physics

Participants will learn core principles that allow them to translate biological observations into models grounded in basic concepts of chemistry and physics. The concepts covered are largely those taught in introductory undergraduate classes, but are not typically applied to research into complex biological processes. Doing so allows researchers to develop models that make testable and falsifiable predictions. The concepts and approach will be introduced with molecular examples, including enzyme catalysis, allostery and molecular motors. Next, participants will work in groups to build analogous models related to more complex literature examples or their own research.
Terms: Aut, Spr | Units: 3

BIOS 426: Patient-Centered Care and Genetic Therapies for Rare Diseases

This course will bridge the gap between genetics, therapeutics, and genetic counseling, offering a comprehensive exploration of rare disease therapies. By incorporating real-world patient perspectives, stakeholder insights, and up-to-date information on emerging genetic therapies, this course provides a unique and holistic view of the evolving landscape of rare disease treatments and ideas for how to get involved. This course is designed for genetic counseling students, residents/fellows, medical students, PhD students, post-docs, and undergraduate students who have had some clinical experience and basic coursework in molecular genetics.

Instructors: Naik, H. (PI)

BIOS 427: Advanced Biological Imaging of Marine Embryos and Larvae

Many marine invertebrates have embryos and larvae that are small and transparent, and ideal for the application of new imaging technologies. Leveraging this biological diversity, representing more than 500 million years of independent evolution, offers a unique opportunity to address a wide range of foundational developmental and cell biological questions, and the role of the environment in regulating embryo and larval behavior. This residential practical course will introduce students to working with a range of marine invertebrate species at Hopkins Marine Station, and a hands-on opportunity to try new imaging technologies from high resolution live imaging with confocal, to embryo and larval tracking with Gravity Scope.

BIOS 428: Introduction to Eyeless Physics

Abstract notions that describe nature at subatomic and cosmological scales may not need eyes to understand, but we still strongly rely on eyes to communicate and do physics. This renders the subject largely inaccessible for the visually impaired, with lack of advanced scientific content being one of the many issues. This mini course will open the world of eyeless physics to visioned students in four sessions, where they will 1) learn braille and Nemeth Mathematics, 2) do calculations in the dark, 3) brain-storm, design and test simple tools, and 4) make a research paper (can be their own) accessible to the visually impaired. Class meets twice a week.
