• GMS MM 707: Organ System Diseases
  Graduate Prerequisites: consent of instructor - This course is designed to explore contemporary research on the molecular basis of diseases in a variety of tissues and organs within the body. The content of this course will introduce students to the structure and function of major organ systems including, but not limited to bone, heart, lungs, kidney, and brain, and then interrogate how molecular and cellular disorders in these organs can lead to physiologic dysfunction and human disease. Examples of topics that will be covered include the molecular basis of sickle cell disease, inflammatory bowel disease, molecular basis of hematologic disorders, amyloidosis, endocrine function, and cystic fibrosis. 2 cr. Spring sem. (alternating years, offered Spring 2022)
• GMS MM 710: Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine
  Graduate Prerequisites: consent of instructor - This course is designed to teach basic research and translational research skills to students in the Molecular Medicine Curriculum, using general principles of stem cells and their potential use in regenerative medicine. Students will first be exposed to the basic concepts and definitions of stem cells, the detailed study of different types of adult vs pluripotent stem cells, and discuss ethical and practical considerations. Students will also learn about stem cell manipulation by novel gene editing techniques, recent advances in disease modeling and the potential use of stem cells in tissue and organ regeneration. 2 cr, Spring sem.

  This course description is currently under construction.
• GMS MM 730: Biological Core Technologies
  Graduate Prerequisites: GMS CM753 or BI755 or BI 782 or consent of instructor - The major goal of this course is to provide an overview of the principles and applications of modern techniques, which are regularly employed in academia and industry as tools for biomolecular and biomedical investigation. This course will focus on technologies which are available at BUSM. Specific technologies include microscopy, FACS, IHC, qPCR, genomic (next gen sequencing and microarrays), proteomics techniques, HTS, fluorescence molecular tomography, ultrasound and metabolic phenotyping techniques. 3 cr. Fall sem.
