Principles of Genetics & Genomics<\/h2>\nGMS GE 701, 4 credits
\nFall Semester<\/strong><\/h4>\nThis course will serve as a foundation for understanding the heritable basis of numerous biological traits, the relationships among genes, and the regulation of their expression. We will focus on the ability to use genetic systems to probe these problems and therefore will heavily explore the experimental aspects of these investigations. In addition, we will discuss the impact of the genome sequences on the practice of modern science. Moreover, we will use a case study approach to investigate the rich variety of scientific insights gained through genetic studies of aging, addiction, obesity, and others.<\/p>\n
Structure and Function of the Genome<\/span><\/h2>\nGMS FC 712, 2 credits
\nFall Semester<\/strong><\/h4>\nThe second module of the Foundations in Biomedical Sciences course will focus on the mechanisms of biological processes that influence the inheritance, regulation, and utilization of genes. Genetic and genomic, molecular, cell biological, and biochemical experimental approaches to understanding these processes will be explored. In addition, we will discuss the possibilities of utilizing these technologies in medical treatments. This course is part of a series of four core integrated courses and additional elective courses aimed towards first year Ph.D. students in the Division of Graduate Medical Sciences. The four cores will be integrated in content and structure, and therefore are intended to be taken as a complete, progressive sequence.<\/p>\n
Genetics and Genomics Colloquium<\/h2>\n
GMS GE 713 and 704, 2 credits each<\/strong>
\nFall and Spring Semesters<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Genetics and Genomics Colloquium will be a highly participatory journal club where the students will be asked to give presentations on cutting edge research with the focus on communication skills in addition to scientific content. This approach will allow students to become more comfortable with public speaking while developing the skills necessary for effective communication of scientific ideas.<\/p>\n
Deconstructing Systemic Bias: Where Biology Ends and Bias Begins<\/h2>\nGMS GE 706, 2 credits
\nSpring Semester<\/strong><\/h4>\nThis course will help students explore the relationship between race, ethnicity, ancestry, sex, gender, ability status, and identity. Students will also gain understanding of the fundamentals of human population variation at the genetic level and will demonstrate how this information has been misused in the form of \u201cscientific racism.\u201d These principles will be used to examine the impact of underrepresentation in scientific studies and cases in which scientific racism and bias have caused harm to marginalized groups. To integrate this knowledge, students will debunk misapplication of these concepts in examples of racism and other forms of bias where biological principles are misrepresented.<\/p>\n
