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 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 will cover the underlying molecular and cellular biology involved in carcinogenesis, tumor growth, and metastasis. The latest concepts in cancer biology and cancer therapeutics and a general appreciation of the rapid advances made in this area of biomedicine will be discussed. Certain topics such as cellular processes in cancer initiation and progression, modelling of different types of cancers in the laboratory, the genetic landscape of human cancers and novel therapeutics which target individual tumors based upon genetic signature will also be discussed. Additionally, this course aims to arm beginning graduate students with a working understanding of different cutting-edge methods that are being used to answer key questions in cancer biology and therapeutics.
