CSB 201: Chemical and Systems Biology Bootcamp
In this "boot camp" students perform hands-on original research in small groups, combining chemical biology systems-level approaches to investigate current biological problems. This year's course will investigate the function and regulation of uncharacterized genes. Students will acquire conceptual and methodological training in a wide range of modern techniques, including "omics" approaches, fluorescence microscopy, genome editing, computational approaches, and quantitative data analysis.

CSB 210: Cell Signaling
The molecular mechanisms through which cells receive and respond to external signals. Emphasis is on principles of cell signaling, the systems-level properties of signal transduction modules, and experimental strategies through which cell signaling pathways are being studied. Prerequisite: working knowledge of biochemistry and genetics.

CSB 221: Methods and Logic in Chemical and Systems Biology
This course covers logic, experimental design and methods in Chemical and Systems Biology, using discussions of classic and modern literature to discern the principles of biological investigation in making discoveries and testing hypotheses. In collaboration with faculty, students also apply those principles to generate a potential research project, presented in both written and oral form.

CSB 243: Biotechnology and Development of Therapeutics
This course will introduce students to the applications of biotechnology to the discovery and development of novel drugs and therapeutics. Students will learn about the process of drug discovery and development from target discovery, through drug optimization, preclinical testing, clinical testing, and commercialization. The course also offers a basic understanding of functions that work in parallel with discovery research and drug development, including business strategy, portfolio decision-making and program management. Finally, the course allows the opportunity to learn from, and connect with leaders from companies within the Biotchnology sector.
