GRADUATE SCHOOL
BMS 270 Minicourse. Autoimmune disease: genetic susceptibility, cellular mechanisms and potential new therapies.
Anthony DeFranco
Scheduled for spring 2010. Your course will be offered during Module III - Monday, May 10 – Friday, May 28, 2010.
Micro 202. Microbial Pathogenesis.
James McKerrow, Eric Brown, Joanne Engel, Jeff Cox
The course will examine the interaction of selected bacterial, fungal,
and parasitic pathogens with their eukaryotic hosts. Particular
emphasis will be placed on the molecular mechanisms by which these
invaders evade host defenses and cause disease.
Prerequisites: College course in microbiology recommended.
Lecture 2 hours. Seminar 1 hours.
