MCB 493 class schedule data for spring 2017
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
63457	Laboratory	ECB	11:00AM -2:50PM	F	Location Pending	Levesque, L	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/17-05/03/17 Credit: 2 hours Section Title: Experimental Cell Biology Section Info: Prerequisites: MCB 252 and MCB 253. This laboratory course is built upon the experimental foundation introduced in MCB 253. Biochemical, immunological and molecular biological techniques will be used to probe the molecules and processes of eukaryotic cells. Special emphasis will be given to the cell cycle, intracellular trafficking, and cellular differentiation. The course will also include proper data handling and reporting techniques. This course counts as an advanced MCB laboratory course. This section may not be repeated. Consult an MCB advisor for grade replacement situations.
64546	Lecture-Discussion	EGD	1:00PM -1:50PM	M	Location Pending	Whitaker, R Degnan, P	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/17-05/03/17 Credit: 1 hours Section Title: Exploring Genome Data Section Info: Students will learn to work with processing, assembly, and analysis of next generation sequencing data in order to harness the true power of genome sequencing. Each semester a class project will be developed, analyzed and completed by students meeting once a week for one hour to work with primary sequence data with instructor guidance and infrastructure provided. This section of MCB 493 counts as advanced MCB course credit. This course begins Jan. 30 and will be taught in the Nevada Building Computer Lab at 1203 1/2 W. Nevada Street.
64991	Lecture	EPI	12:30PM -1:50PM	TR	302 Architecture Building	Belmont, A	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/17-05/03/17 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Epigenetics Section Info: This course will cover the field of epigenetics that seeks to explain how long-lasting changes in cellular and organismal traits can occur through non-genetic, environmentally responsive mechanisms. The course will focus on the molecular mechanisms underlying epigenetic phenomenon but we will also cover applications to contemporary topics such as cancer, metabolism, aging, and tissue engineering. 3 undergraduate hours, 3 graduate hours.Prerequisite: Undergrads- MCB 252 or consent of instructor.One semester of biochemistry is recommended. This section of MCB 493 counts as advanced MCB course credit.
60204	Lecture-Discussion Lecture-Discussion	FIP FIP	11:00AM -11:50AM 12:30PM -1:20PM	R R	393 Bevier Hall 393 Bevier Hall	Kwast, K Raetzman, L Kwast, K Raetzman, L	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/17-05/03/17 Credit: 2 hours Section Title: Frontiers in Physiology Section Info: This section of MCB 493 counts as advanced MCB course credit. Please email Dr. Kwast at kwast@illinois.edu for approval to take this course.The course meets in B102 CLSL from 11-12 pm and in B126 CLSL from 12:30-1:20 pm. This section may not be repeated. Consult an MCB advisor for grade replacement situations. Restriction(s): Restricted to Biochemistry or Molecular and Cellular Biology or Integrative Biology major(s). Restricted to students with Junior or Senior class standing.
64990	Lecture-Discussion	VIR	4:00PM -4:50PM	MWF	212 David Kinley Hall	Brooke, C	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/17-05/03/17 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Viral Pathogenesis & Evolution Section Info: Viruses are everywhere. They are intimately involved in the lives of all major life forms on earth, and impose enormous public health and economic burdens upon human society. This course will focus on the common fundamental concepts that underlie and connect the replication, pathogenesis, and evolution of diverse virus families, rather than serve as a detail-focused survey of viruses. Group discussion of primary literature will be used to illustrate experimental approaches for exploring fundamental questions in virology. Prerequisites for this section of MCB 493 are MCB 250, 252, 300 and 354. This section of MCB 493 counts as advanced MCB course credit.
