This introductory course focuses on current global issues of health and disease to describe fundamental topics in pathobiology. Global biomedical concerns regarding infectious diseases, population, cancer, biotechnology and environmental health will be addressed. Course content will provide examples of the impact of veterinary and human pathology on world health issues. Formerly offered as PVS 1000.

Exploration of health concepts and ecosystems where people, animals, plants, and the environment interconnect and impact each other. CA 3.

Exposure to the Pathobiology major and careers in Pathobiology through interactions with professionals in relevant careers, training in basic laboratory safety and research compliance, and development of a personalized career journal.

Hands-on, basic biomedical research laboratory techniques with an emphasis on chemical and biological safety, as well as laboratory proficiency.

Comprehensive project-based laboratory course utilizing a variety of modern biomedical techniques to identify an unknown pathogen and express antigens for vaccine and diagnostic assay development. Topics covered include next-generation sequencing, CRISPR gene editing, mRNA technology, gene cloning and expression, protein purification and analysis, immunoassay, and reverse transcription quantitative PCR development.

Designed for students who plan to own and work with domestic animals. Its purpose is to develop student competence in disease management and to foster an intelligent working relationship with their veterinarian. The course will cover a systematic study of infectious and noninfectious diseases of domestic animals from the standpoint of economy and public health. Formerly offered as PVS 2301.

Fundamental biology of pathogenic bacteria and fungi including host-pathogen interactions and microbiological laboratory techniques.

Fundamental biology of medically relevant viruses and parasites including host-pathogen interactions and microbiological laboratory techniques.

Foundations of cellular structures and molecular basis of disease, from essential components of eukaryotic cells to cellular responses to injury and disease.

Special topics taken in a foreign study program. Formerly offered as PVS 3093.

Majors may take this course in each semester of the senior year. Formerly offered as PVS 3094W.

Topics and credits to be published prior to the registration period preceding the semester offerings. Formerly offered as PVS 3095.

Special problems in connection with departmental research programs and diagnostic procedures for diseases of animals. Some suggested topics are histopathologic laboratory procedures, clinical hematology, diagnostic bacteriology, diagnostic parasitology. Formerly offered as PVS 3099.

Designed for students in biologic, paramedical and animal sciences; its purpose is to integrate histologic and cellular structure with function, utilizing human tissues and those from other vertebrates. Formerly offered as PVS 3100.
