Beginning with: V

V SC 418   BACTERIAL PATHOGENESIS
Study of molecular interactions between bacterial pathogens and their hosts.
Credits: (2)

V SC 430   PRINCIPLES OF TOXICOLOGY
Course is designed to introduce students to the broad discipline of toxicology. Basic principles of toxicology and their applications to the understanding of xenobiotic-induced target organ toxicology will be presented. Lecture topics include: basic principles relating to toxicant exposure routes; dose-response relationships in toxicity; absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of toxicants; and chemical carcinogenesis & mutagenesis.
Credits: (3)

V SC 432   ADVANCED IMMUNOLOGY: SIGNALING IN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
The study of signaling pathways that regulate the immune response.
Credits: (3)

V SC 433   MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR TOXICOLOGY
In-depth coverage of processes by which drugs/chemicals interact with biological systems and the experimental approaches used to study these interactions.
Credits: (3)

V SC 444   EPIDEMIOLOGY OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES
An introduction to epidemiology of infectious diseases with emphasis on unders tanding epidemiologic concepts for identifying, preventing and controlling inf ectious diseases.
Credits: (3)

V SC 445   MOLECULAR EPIDEMIOLOGY OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES
A discussion and practicum of the molecular laboratory techniques used to stud y molecular epidemiology of infectious diseases.
Credits: (3)

V SC 448W   CURRENT TOPICS IN IMMUNOLOGY
Study of current approaches and questions driving research in immunology and infectious diseases.
Credits: (3)

V SC 511   MOLECULAR IMMUNOLOGY
The study of molecular and biochemical events that influence immune responses and define current questions in immunology.
Credits: (2)

V SC 520   PATHOBIOLOGY

V SC 530   REGULATION OF GENE EXPRESSION BY XENOBIOTICS
Course will examine the mechanisms by which foreign chemicals alter gene expression and the techniques used to examine this effect. Of particular interest are chemicals that mimic endogenous regulators of gene expression and result in toxicity.
Credits: (2)

V SC 532   DEVELOPMENTAL AND REPRODUCTIVE TOXICOLOGY
Course is designed to provide a mechanistic understanding of how environmental chemicals, nutrients and drugs affect reproduction and development of embryos and fetuses, including effects that result from maternal and paternal toxicity.
Credits: (2)
