Introduction to enzymes, enzyme kinetics, allosteric effects, enzyme classification, different application areas of enzymes, biocatalysis research with a focus on transketolase and transaminase enzymes.
This module acquaints students with
microorganisms and their activities. The aim of this course is to give
information about microbial structure, classification of microorganisms,
examples of beneficial and harmful microorganisms. Topics include microbial
cell structure, function, classification of microorganisms, metabolism, and the
role of microorganisms in disease, immunity, Infection and pathogenicity,
Isolation of a broad range of non-pathogenic bacteria from natural sources,
using selective and enrichment techniques, with microscopic, biochemical, and
molecular identification, and other selected applied areas of microbiology such
as environmental biotechnology, roles of microorganisms in wastewater
treatment, nutrient removal, energy generation by microbial cells, food
microbiology, microbial ecology will be covered
This course will provide the student with a solid background in general cancer biology. Upon completion of the class, students should have basic understanding of the mechanisms by which tumors gain and maintain a growth advantage, and of potential therapeutic targets.

This course is designed for students to gain an understanding of statistical data analyses and experimental design in the field of biological sciences, including statistical analyses used in epidemiology. Practical and non-theoretical approaches to the statistical analyses of laboratory data is discussed; including experimental design, mistakes in experimental design, rigor and reproducibility and bias in scientific research. Topics and statistical tests such as hypothesis testing, T-tests, 1-Way and Multi-Way ANOVAs, post-hoc tests, correlations and regressions, non-parametric statistics, power analyses and dose-response analyses are presented with examples from several fields with an emphasis on biotechnology. Prism from GraphPad is introduced and used throughout the course, as well as SPSS. Literature from biotechnology research will be used to provide students examples of statistical analyses of real-life data.

This course is designed to explore the scientific principles that govern human reproduction. There will be an anatomical overview of female and male reproductive systems. There will also be a focus on menstrual and ovarian cycles, fertilization, implantation and embryonic development; development from fertilization to the blastocyst stage, implantation and placental development and embryogenesis. Reproductive disorders and abnormalities such as ectopic pregnancies, miscarriages, preterm births, fetal disorders, placental complications, parturition, and lactation are discussed, including teratology. Special topics such as infertility and the environmental causes of infertility, current assisted reproductive technologies; their development, advancement, risks, controversies and the future outlook of such technologies will be discussed. Additionally, the pathophysiology of female and male reproductive systems, in vitro fertilization and fertility medications will be explained.
This course aims to introduce students to stem cell biology and research; the different types, characteristics and functions of stem cells (embryonic, adult, cord blood and amniotic and induced pluripotent stem cells), stem cell generation, regulation and differentiation in vitro and in vivo and how induced pluripotent stem cells are derived and used for research. Experimental systems to be studied include human stem cells as well as mouse, zebrafish, and Drosophila model systems. Furthermore, there will be an emphasis on how stem cells can be used to repair organ and tissue damage such as paralyses and burns. In addition, treatment of a vast array of diseases like diabetes, cancers, Parkinson's, dementia, neuropathies, congenital hearing loss, cystic fibrosis and cardiovascular diseases will be covered

This course is designed to examine the molecular and cellular mechanisms for a variety of diseases and pathologies affecting the structure and function of human tissues and organs, including the corresponding animal models which are used in research. The genetic, biochemical, inflammatory, immunological and neoplastic mechanisms of these diseases will be presented. Cancers, neurological, cardiovascular, metabolic, autoimmune, coagulation, deficiency, psychological and pathogenic disorders will be discussed. The epidemiology, genetics, environmental factors, symptoms, diagnoses, pathophysiology and treatments of these disorders will be examined in the context of biotechnological research, with heavy focus on current literature. Online research and clinical trial databases will be used in parallel, for students to gain an understanding of the most current developments and advancements in disease pathology, diagnostics and therapeutics.
