CMB 155细胞与分子生物学导论

Students analyzed the nucleotide sequences of RNA viruses (like SARS-CoV-2 and the flu) to discover how mutations in the genetic code can change their severity.

“大流行Pandomonium!” where students compared different viruses, and evaluated different potential anti-viral drugs.

引用学生的话:“我喜欢这个!  Enjoyed how much new information I had learned about the virus throughout my research and I learned more about other infections as well.  I told my parents about everything I had learned about the virus and they loved the assignment idea too!  谢谢你”

CMB 140活的食品:自己发酵!

我们讨论了冠状病毒的结构 & what it means to ‘flatten the curve’ in order to understand public health guidance during the pandemic.

CMB 150 -生物技术 & 社会

我们讨论了RNA病毒的各种例子. Students were particularly interested in differences between flu viruses and coronaviruses. We also talked about the genetic evolution of zoonotic viruses, 潜伏期, 以及无症状患者.

生物技术概论

We learned about qPCR testing that's critical throughout the pandemic. Students also get to learn about detecting antibody through ELISA and identifying steps in the method that could lead to a false-positive or negative. We also learn about various types of innovated vaccines.

We focus on virus life cycles, anti-viral drug targets and treatment for COVID-19.

CMB 321 Designing Our Future: Babies, Food, Medicine & 生物技术 

学生们讨论疫苗的各种制造方法, 以及它们如何让我们的免疫系统对病原体做好准备. We also talk about herd immunity and risk analysis related to disease and vaccines.

CMB 626/ 426 Advanced 研究 Applications in Nucleic Acids

“测试! 测试! 测试!" students got to learn how to do the RT-PCR test that everyone is talking about in the media. 除了研究基因表达, we also have hands on experiences in this class using the molecular genetic tools used for clinical testing.

CMB 405单元 & 分子生物学

Students learned how current research on SARS-CoV-2 genetic materials and cellular functions can be applied to the development of vaccination and treatment for COVID-19.

We also discussed the molecular genetic mechanism(s) of how the coronavirus attacks our cells and on-going clinical trials including how Moderna is using mRNA-1273 to develop a RNA vaccine.

CMB 406单元 & 分子生物学实验室

Students studied cAMP pathway in depth and we discussed the role of cAMP and PKA in T cell activation and differentiation and how it related to our immune response using molecular genetic tools.

CMB 411发育和癌症的遗传学

学生们可以学习RNA病毒基因组, genetic development of diseases and discussed vaccines and tumor virology in depth.  

CMB460/ 560 Genomics & 分子诊断

Students will learn about the emerging COVID-19 diagnostics tools and their concepts (e.g. 抗体测试, 实时聚合酶链反应, 下一代测序), 如何获取COVID-19遗传资源, and develop their own diagnostic strategies to best detect the coronavirus.
