BIOC 5101 - Human Biochemistry I

4 credit hours

Biochemistry I introduces the molecular basis of cell function and the biochemical basis of structure and function of the body. Special attention is given to disease states caused by biochemical, bio-molecular, and genetic abnormalities. We will cover medical genetics in the areas of inheritance patterns, including aspects of population genetics and probability. We will emphasize subjects of medical interest such as genetic and metabolic disorders, including cytogenetic disorders and genetic testing. This course is primarily lecture-based with the use of workshops to promote learning of selected topics.
