  • BIO 399: Bioethics
    3.00 Credits
    The University of Tennessee Southern

    This course is designed to explore the complex ethical questions and concerns raised by the technological advancements being made in medicine, genetics, and cybernetics. The role of futuristic ethics, anticipating the bioethical issues likely to arise in the future and addressing those issues preemptively, will be considered. The importance of having a well-established ethical base from which to examine ethically questionable situations (as opposed to just �situation ethics�) will be stressed. Also, the reason humans need to do bioethics in the first place (as opposed to just letting the technology take us for a ride) will be stressed.

  • BIO 402: Molecular Genetics & Synthetic Biology
    4.00 Credits
    The University of Tennessee Southern

    Advanced-level course that introduces students interested in the life sciences to the fields of molecular genetics and synthetic biology, as well as to intensive project-based lab research. Covers the structure and activity of genetic material at the molecular level as well as the creation of novel biological systems for solving real-world biological problems. Topics include DNA structure & replication, gene expression (transcription & translation), and gene regulation. In both lab and in lecture, students will apply engineering principles to the design, construction, and testing of synthetic biological devices and systems. Select applications as well as safety and ethical concerns will also be addressed. This course includes three (3) hours of lecture and three (3) hours of laboratory each week. Course fee applies.

  • BIO 411: Immunology
    3.00 Credits
    The University of Tennessee Southern

    This course examines the components of the innate and adaptive immune systems. The students will learn how the body identifies foreign invaders and responds to rid itself of infection. Topics include: the production of B-and T-cell receptors for antigen recognition, the maturation and differentiation of leukocytes, and the cell-cell signaling that occurs in a coordinated immune response. The emphasis will be on human health with special consideration given to the consequences of failures of the immune system.
