Courses currently taught by Martin Hudson

BIOL 3410: Cell Biology

• 3 Class Hours, 0 Laboratory Hours, 3 Credit Hours
• Prerequisite: Grade of “C” or better in BIOL 1108, BIOL 1108L, BIOL 3300 and BIOL 3300L

Cellular function and genetic principles from an experimental point of view. Emphasis will be placed on the functional interactions among cellular substructures, regulation of cellular biosynthetic activity, regulation of sub-cellular transport, and evaluation of experimental data.

BIOL 4411: Stem Cell Technology

• 3 Class Hours, 3 Laboratory Hours, 4 Credit Hours
• Prerequisite: Grade of “C” or better in BIOL 3300 and BIOL 3300L 

Stem cells offer great promise for modern medicine. This course gives students hands-on experience in handling, differentiating, analyzing and purifying stem cells in culture. Students will also gain a broad understanding of in vivo stem cells, including the developmental aspects of cellular self-renewal and tissue regeneration. This is a lab intensive course and will feature in-lab lectures, a formal written component, and in-class presentations.

BIOL 3300L: Genetics Laboratory

• 0 Class Hours, 3 Laboratory Hours, 1 Credit Hour
• Prerequisite: concurrent with BIOL 3300 Genetics

This course is designed to reinforce principles and applications of transmission genetics, cytogenetics, and molecular genetics. Students will learn to use problem-solving, data analysis and quantitative methods to explore genetics. Exercises in molecular biology will expose students to methods of recombinant DNA technology.
