Biochemistry and Genetics of Pathogens and Their Hosts

This course has been developed for students who need a solid foundation in the application of biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics as they relate to host/pathogen relationships and to human disease. Topics include genome structure, gene expression, and protein structure/function/biosynthesis, with emphasis on their role in specific diseases.Technological advances and molecular techniques will be discussed, with emphasis on their relationship to the study of disease processes.
