Advanced Pathogenic Mircobio

Catalog description

This course encompasses a rigorous and dynamic curriculum that surveys host-microbe interactions in the context of disease for established and emerging pathogens in modern times. Students will explore pathogen mechanisms of disease by reviewing scientific literature about select pathogen varieties of bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and other acellular pathogens. This course will also explore the philosophy of vaccine development, the molecular techniques used to study host-microbe interactions, and the evolution of drug resistance.
