• BIOL-4797EL - Environmental Physiology

  This course is a study of the ecophysiological aspects of animal life and the principles of adaptation. It includes an examination of the physiological responses of vertebrates to such environmental factors as temperature, light, drought, humidity, salinity, atmospheric pressure, oxygen levels, etc....

• BIOL-4807EL - Advanced Genetics

  This course examines fundamental concepts of molecular genetics from genome anatomy to molecular phylogenetics. It also explores the application of these concepts in genetic techniques and biomedical research. Models for the molecular basis of genetics processes are discussed, including comparisons ...
