630  VIROLOGY (3). Prerequisites, molecular biology and cell biology. Current concepts of the chemistry, structure, replication, genetics, and natural history of animal viruses and their host cells. Fall. Pickles.

631  ADVANCED MOLECULAR BIOLOGY I (GNET, BIOC, PHCO, BIOL 631) (3). Prerequisites for undergraduates, at least one undergraduate course in both biochemistry and genetics, and permission of instructor. DNA structure, function, and interactions in prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems, including chromosome structure, replication, recombination, repair, and genome fluidity. Three lecture hours. Fall.

632  ADVANCED MOLECULAR BIOLOGY II (GNET, BIOC, PHCO, BIOL 632)(3). Prerequisites for undergraduates, at least one undergraduate course in both biochemistry and genetics and permission of the instructor. RNA structure, function, and processing in biological systems including transcription, gene regulation, translation, protein and RNA transport. Spring. Marzluff, Baldwin, Strahl, staff.

635  MICROBIAL PATHOGENESIS I (3). Prerequisites, coursework in molecular biology and genetics, or permission of the instructor. Topics will include aspects of basic bacteriology as well as bacterial and fungal pathogens and mechanisms of disease.  Fall.  Cotter, Staff.

640  MICROBIAL PATHOGENESIS II (3). Prerequisites, a fundamental understanding of molecular virology and immunology and permission of instructor. Molecular pathogenesis, with a primary focus on viral pathogens. Additional topics include vaccines and genetics of host-pathogen interactions. Spring.  Heise, staff.

643  CELL STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION (CBIO, BIOC, PHCO 643) (3). Prerequisite, undergraduate cell biology or biochemistry or permission of the instructor. A comprehensive lecture and discussion-based course covering research on membrane structure, membrane trafficking, the cytoskeleton, the extracellular matrix, and ion channels. The final block of lectures will apply an understanding of these subjects to various "hot topics" in cell biology. Fall. Erickson.
