OSPOXFRD 30A: The History and Science of Vaccine Technology

This course is inspired by the ongoing pandemic and the interplay between the complex science of vaccine and drug development, science communication, and public policy. We will discuss the history of vaccines and pandemics/epidemics, the science and engineering of vaccine and therapeutic technologies, the regulatory process for development of novel vaccines and therapeutics, public policy related to medical and non-medical interventions. We will also touch on biotechnology entrepreneurship covering invention, business models, and business partnerships (e.g., BioNTech/Pfizer and Oxford/AstraZeneca). In addition to the infectious disease focus, we will briefly cover how core discoveries in immunology have led to critical advancements in the treatment of cancer and autoimmune disorders. Throughout the course we will discuss how interdisciplinary collaboration is critical in the effective and equitable translation of scientific advancements. The course will be composed of discussions, guest lectures, and field trips integrating the unique local resources. Assignments will include readings, class presentations, individual research projects, and writings.

OSPOXFRD 44: Molecular Genetics Ethics and Practice

The generation of transgenic animals - including worms, fruit flies, mice, sheep, or humans - is celebrated cornerstone of modern biological research, and has revolutionized medicine. This course focuses on teaching the scientific principles enabling animal transgenesis, including genetics, molecular and cell biology and animal husbandry, through directed reading - including primary scientific papers discussed in tutorials - and through lively in-class presentations and discussion. Instructor: Alberto Baena-Lopez. These activities will prepare students for hands-on activities in student-directed independent research projects in the latter half of the course, and enable students to produce and characterize transgenic fruit flies. The course will emphasize the ground-breaking contributions of scientists in the U.K., including those trained or currently at Oxford, to the principles and practice of animal genetics. These contributions will be highlighted through field trips to the Oxford Natural History Museum and British Natural History Museum. We will also discuss important ethical issues raised by transgenesis in animals, and recent controversial examples in humans. This course has no prerequisites.

OSPPARIS 40M: An Intro to Making: What is EE

Is a hands-on class where students learn to make stuff. Through the process of building, you are introduced to the basic areas of EE. Students build a "useless box" and learn about circuits, feedback, and programming hardware, a light display for your desk and bike and learn about coding, transforms, and LEDs, a solar charger and an EKG machine and learn about power, noise, feedback, more circuits, and safety. And you get to keep the toys you build. Prerequisite: CS 106A.

OSPPARIS 50M: Introductory Science of Materials

Topics include: the relationship between atomic structure and macroscopic properties of man-made and natural materials; mechanical and thermodynamic behavior of surgical implants including alloys, ceramics, and polymers; and materials selection for biotechnology applications such as contact lenses, artificial joints, and cardiovascular stents. No prerequisite.

OSPPARIS 53: Electricity, Magnetism and Optics with Laboratory

How are electric and magnetic fields generated by static and moving charges, and what are their applications? How is light related to electromagnetic waves? Represent and analyze electric and magnetic fields to understand electric circuits, motors, and generators. Wave nature of light to explain interference, diffraction, and polarization phenomena; geometric optics to understand how lenses and mirrors form images. Workings and limitations of optical systems such as the eye, corrective vision, cameras, telescopes, and microscopes. Discussions based on the language of algebra and trigonometry. An integrated version of Physics 23 and 24, targeted to premedical students who are studying abroad with integrated labs. Prerequisite: PHYSICS 21 or 21S. This course meets the STEM track requirement for the Paris Program during Winter Quarter 2019-2020.

OSPPARIS 88P: Our Genomes - Vive la Difference!

The human genome carries the instructions for normal human development and reproduction. But it also carries predispositions to disease, and clues to our evolution, ancestry, and identity. The genome may also be pliable to environmental influences and genetic engineering. Through directed readings, activities and Paris field trips, students will learn about the human genome and applications of genome science and technology across diverse disciplines including medicine, comparative and evolutionary biology, paternity testing and forensics. A particular emphasis will be France's contributions to genome science, and uniquely French perspectives on the ethical, legal, and societal implications. The broad goal is to become informed and engaged about genome science and its impact on both the individual and society.

OSPSANTG 58: Global Change in Chile

Physical, ecological, and human geography of Chile. Perceptions of the Chilean territory and technologies of study. Flora, fauna, and human adaptations to regional environments. Guest lectures; field trips; workshops.
Terms: Aut, Spr, Sum | Units: 5 | UG Reqs: GER:DB-EngrAppSci, WAY-SMA
Instructors: Reid, S. (PI)

OSPSANTG 85: Marine Ecology of Chile and the South Pacific

Relationships among physical processes in the ocean, biological productivity, and the exploitation of resources by high-thropic-level predators including human beings. Characterization of ecological patterns; identification of processes operating on marine systems. Open ocean ecosystems, intertidal and benthic regions of the world's oceans, and ecological research developed along coastal regions, focusing on Chile's 4,000 km coastline.
