Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2018 / Summer 2018 / Spring 2019 / Summer 2019 / Summer 2020 / Fall 2020 / Spring 2021 / Summer 2021 / Summer 2022 / Spring 2023 / Summer 2023 / Fall 2023
Introduces mammalian endocrine system. Provides a thorough analysis of chemical communication by hormones and related bioregulators with emphasis on the major endocrine systems such as the thyroid, gonad, pituitary and the brain. Students must take lecture and recitation sections. Same as IPHY 5440.
IPHY 4600 - Immunology
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2018 / Spring 2019 / Fall 2020 / Fall 2021 / Fall 2022 / Spring 2023 / Fall 2023
Studies the immune system, a multi-cellular system that functions to protect us from disease. Introduces concepts associated with the development and function of individual cells of the immune system (T-cells, B-cells, neutrophils, dendritic cells, macrophages), as well as their integrative roles in physiology and host defense. This course requires a conceptual understanding of the material and emphasizes problem-solving skills through case studies. Recommended prerequisite: IPHY 3060 or IPHY 4060. Same as IPHY 5600.
