| Description: | This course provides an overview of some of the most troubling health problems we face today, including cardiovascular heart disease and stroke, cancers of select organ systems, acute and chronic infections, autoimmune diseases, various blood disorders, diabetes and hyper/hypoglycemia, kidney disease, rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and bone fractures, chronic obstructive and other pulmonary disorders, and issues relating to gastrointestinal disorders, obesity, fat management, and the metabolic syndrome. We first will examine the normal function of the relevant tissues and organ systems, followed by probing the primary causes, risk factors, and general biological mechanisms of these diseases. We also will learn about preventative or therapeutic treatment strategies and ongoing new research in these areas. At the end of the course, we will briefly delve into expectations and controversies associated with certain drugs and explore the overall difficulties inherent in drug discovery, development, approval, and post-marketing monitoring today. |

| Description: | Global Sustainability explores our relationship with planet earth. Taking an ecological systems perspective, this course provides students with the knowledge and understanding of the scientific, cultural, social, political, economic, and technological conditions that affect the quality of life on our planet. Due to the cross-disciplinary nature of these conditions and issues, the course will touch on many different subject areas, including ecology, conservation biology, economics, and political science. The overarching theme of environmental sustainability will be interwoven throughout the course. Topics covered include an overview of the global commons, ecosystem integrity and health, the human footprint, biodiversity and human health, the pollution and degradation of the global commons, ecological economics, the international system and environmental politics, resource management, and sustainable development. Hybrid online. The course meets on the following Wednesdays: 1/18, 1/25, and 2/15. |

| Description: | This course will examine the fundamental principles of cellular processes at the molecular level. Among the major topics covered are nucleic acid chemistry, gene structure and organization in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, gene expression, and recombinant DNA and transgenic/knockout (including conditional knockout) mouse technology. The topic of the CRISPR/Cas system used for gene editing will also be included. In addition, the idea of genes and genomes will be discussed with an introduction to functional and comparative genomics. In particular, emphasis will be placed on the regulation of gene expression and protein synthesis and the various methodologies utilized to address these topics. In addition, the concepts of siRNA, miRNA, and the phenomenon of RNA-interference will be covered with the topic of micro RNA and disease, and the importance of these small non-coding RNA molecules, highlighted by presentation of current scientific literature. Also included will be a major publication showing how RNA interference can be used as a tool to unlock the secrets of human embryonic stem cells. A number of commonly used molecular biology and biochemical lab techniques will also be covered, in addition to more current tools such as microarray and proteomics that can be used to address global changes in transcriptional profiles. |

| Description: | Regenerative medicine focuses on the development of novel therapies to repair, replace, restore or regenerate cells, tissues and body organs that are defective, damaged or injured by disease. Cell-based therapies, including the use of native stem or immune cells and genetically-modified or bioengineered cells, are being evaluated for treatment of a wide variety of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and Parkinson's disease. This course will highlight basic, translational, and clinical advances in cell-based therapies and tissue engineering, with some discussion of ethical, financial, and regulatory issues that may impact such advances. |

| Description: | This field course to the Western Ghats of India gives students advanced training in field techniques relevant to primate conservation, biodiversity monitoring, and research, and exposes them to the diverse community of plants and wildlife of the area. We study ornithology, herpetology, primatology, botany, and entomology, and train in field methods including spatial orienteering, biodiversity monitoring, radio telemetry, tropical plant identification, behavioral observations, and camera-trapping. Students will complete a daily observation log, primate census log, and species sightings list. Course is 2 or 3 units and students are required to submit a research paper due after the trip to India for the 3-unit version of the course only. In addition to tuition, student costs include $2,250 site fee, all airfare and ground transportation, some food and supplies, medical costs of any kind, and costs related to exigent circumstances. Medical insurance is required. Course dates: Dec. 28, 2016 - Jan. 10, 2017. STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A COURSE APPLICATION BEFORE REGISTRATION. COURSE APPLICATION DEADLINE: November 18, 2016 by 5pm. Visit https://fieldprojects.org/participate/courses-2/primates-and-predators/ for the application and additional course information.
