MCB 493 class schedule data for spring 2015
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
58877	Lecture-Discussion	BHP	9:30AM -10:50AM	TR	Lincoln Hall	Freund, G Stenger, A	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/15-05/06/15 Credit: 3 hours Section Info: Basic Human Pathology Introduction to the basic mechanism of human disease with a focus on the building blocks of pathological processes at the sub-organismal and organismal level. Basic biological processes will be stressed including tissue adaptation, injury, inflammation, repair and neoplasia. Pathology synthesizes cellular and molecular biology, biochemistry and immunology holistically so as to understand the body's limited terminal repsonses to the cornucopia of experienced physiological insults. This section of MCB 493 is approved as advanced hours in MCB. Restriction(s): Restricted to Biochemistry or Molecular and Cellular Biology major(s).

57463	Lecture	HMD	3:30PM -4:45PM	TR	Noyes Laboratory	Kemper, K	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/15-05/06/15 Credit: 3 hours Section Info: Human Metabolic Disease This lecture course will examine the molecular and phsiological basis of human metabolic disease. Disruption of metabolic and energy homeostasis plays crucial roles leading to metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes, which are a major medical problem worldwide. This course will examine how lipid/glucose levels and energy balance are controlled in health and how they are abnormally regulated in disease states. In addition, this course will cover current topics related to control of metabolism including orphan nuclear receptor, aging and circadian rhythms. Methodolgies leading to scientific discoveries and potential preventive and therapeutic agents will also be discussed. Prerequisites for this section are MCB 250 and MCB 252. This section of MCB 493 is approved as advanced MCB hours.
