Students apply the design process and creative problem-solving to small- scale environments. Projects focus on human habitation and relationships of public versus private space. Students focus on spatial definition, and organization as they relate to human interaction with the built- environment and design elements and principles. Students investigate design decisions within the parameters of ecological, socio-economic and cultural contexts. Students are charged a studio fee for this course.

Practical Statistics will introduce students to basic statistical concepts and applications that are used in a majority of biomedical and translational research studies. The emphasis will be on "how" and "why" certain basic statistical applications are used rather than the theory behind various statistical methods. Students will cover materials using didactic lectures, examples of data from the primary literature, and homework problems.

Individualized laboratory and research experience under the supervision of a faculty member. May be repeated to a maximum of six credit hours. Two semesters required as part of IBS curriculum.

IBS 608 emphasizes genomics and bioinformatics approaches that are increasingly important in broad areas of biomedical science. These tools allow us to work with large data sets, analyze the transcriptomes of single cells and whole tissues, visualize data in sophisticated ways, do rigorous experimental design, and perform proper statistical procedures for these types of data. This is a hands-on, experiential course. It includes some lecture material but the emphasis is on computer exercises allowing students to learn tools by using them.

Weekly seminar devoted to the presentation and discussion of classic and new research. May be repeated to a maximum of four times; two semesters are required as part of the IBS curriculum.

This course will consider the function of the mammalian organism from a perspective ranging from cells to organs, with an emphasis on physiological communication between organ systems. It will build upon the Integrated Biomedical Sciences (IBS) series of courses to allow the student to develop a truly integrative appreciation of biologic function.

An introduction to cell biology and signaling focused on cell types and architecture, membrane structure, cytoskeleton, mitochondria, cellular mechanisms of development, cell division, cell cycle, apoptosis, necrosis and cancer. Emphasis will also be placed upon the signaling pathways controlling these processes.

Independent work devoted to research on specific problems, to challenge the student to synthesize concepts from his total program and relate them to his allied health specialty. Conference, one to three hours per week. May be repeated to a maximum of six credits.

Students work independently, but under the direction of a committee chair and Master's Project committee suggested by the student and chosen in consultation with the department chair or DGS to complete the Master's Project proposed in HP 798. Must be repeated to a maximum of six hours. Prereq: HP 798.
