生物学理学硕士-微生物学

生物学系提供涵盖生物学广度的本科和研究生课程。课程内容从生物学入门到生物学广泛的专业课程。该系将课程分为集中部分，以帮助向学生建议各种生物学学科的适当学习计划。每个浓度都提供了基本生物学概念的背景知识以及特定学科的深度。学生应在学习计划的早期就咨询顾问，以在兴趣集中设计个性化计划。有兴趣攻读任何这些课程的高级学位的学生必须符合概述的一般要求以及主要学习领域所指定的任何其他要求。至少有30个单元的上等部门和/或研究生学分（可能包括多达6个单元的生物学实验课程）。
The School of Biological Sciences offers two distinct programs leading to the M.S. in Biology degree. The M.S. in Biology (non-thesis) is intended for students who need advanced training in some aspect of modern biology but do not intend to pursue a career in research. The M.S. in Biology (with thesis) is intended for students wishing to obtain a strong background in modern biology and independent research experience in preparation for a technician-level job or further training leading to the PhD in biology.<br><br>The study of molecular and cell biology in the School of Biological Sciences includes the following topics:<br>Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell biology, including cell signaling, cell differentiation, cancer biology, receptor trafficking, and bacterial pathogenesis. Molecular physiology, including human pathophysiology, and the regulation and function of membrane proteins. Molecular biophysics and structural biology, including the structures and functions of nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids<br>Molecular genetics in animal, plant, and microbial systems, including control of gene expression, genome stability, genomics, genetic control of protein folding, and epigenetic phenomena such as prions. Molecular evolution, including molecular population genetics, comparative and functional evolutionary genomics.
