BIOS 5323 Biochemical Foundations and Treatment of Disease

This course takes an in depth look at the molecular basis of human diseases.  The course will examine the genetic foundations of disease and how genetic mutations ultimately lead to changes in the functional materials of the cell, namely proteins.  Students will learn how molecular modifications to proteins result in structural and functional changes that ultimately lead to pathogenesis of the disease state.  Modern methods for targeting and treating disease using molecular strategies will be explored in depth.
