AP Chapter 17 - From Gene to Protein (detailed) Biological and Biomedical Sciences. Biological and biomedical research careers allow someone to be involved in scientific work that will improve human health. Graduate degrees are needed for the most advanced and creative positions in biological sciences. The field of biological and biomedical sciences encompasses the study of biological chemistry, molecular pharmacology, cancer and cell biology, developmental and regenerative biology, genetics, genomics, microbiology and immunology. If you are interested in pursuing a future in the biological and biomedical sciences, you can explore potential degree, distance learning and career options that may suit your goals. Education-Portal.com provides a number of resources that can help you achieve your personal and professional aspirations in this field. Education Information Degree programs are available at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Potential courses include molecular genetics, immunogenetics, animal virology, mechanisms of pathogenesis and pharmacoeconomics.

Open course on phyloinformatics. As part of a postgraduate course here at the University of Glasgow I'm teaching five sessions on "phyloinformatics", which I've decided to define broadly enough to encompass most of biodiversity informatics. Given that this module is being developed on the fly, and will make use of lots of little "toys" I've developed and discussed on this blog, I've decided to put the course notes online, along with the interactive demos and the source code. So, if you want to follow along for the next couple of weeks, here are the links: Each course page supports comments (see the bottom of the page), so feel free to add comments, or suggestions.
The notes are at a crude stage, and will be developed over the duration of the course (2 weeks). I'm also endeavouring to get all the source code for the demonstration apps into GitHub. None of these demos is polished, but they will hopefully provide some ideas for taking them further. My virology course at Columbia University. The third annual installment of my virology course at Columbia University, Biology W3310, has begun. This course, which I taught for the first time in 2009, is intended for advanced undergraduates and will be taught at the Morningside Campus. Until I started this course, no instruction in virology had been offered at the Morningside Heights campus of Columbia University since the late 1980s. This is a serious omission for a first-class University. Sending graduates into the world without even a fundamental understanding of viruses and viral disease is inexcusable.
Course enrollment has steadily increased: 45 students in the 2009, 66 students in 2010, and an amazing 88 students this year. I am gratified that so many students want to learn about the world of viruses. Most readers of virology blog will not be able to sit in on each lecture – but you can still watch every one of them. Thanks to the internet, the information in my virology course is accessible to everyone. Virology - Biology W3310. The basic thesis of the course is that all viruses adopt a common strategy. The strategy is simple: 1. Viral genomes are contained in metastable particles. 2. Genomes encode gene products that promote an infectious cycle (mechanisms for genomes to enter cells, replicate, and exit in particles). 3. Infection patterns range from benign to lethal; infections can overcome or co-exist with host defenses. Despite the apparent simplicity, the tactics evolved by particular virus families to survive and prosper are remarkable.
The course will emphasize the common reactions that must be completed by all viruses for successful reproduction within a host cell and survival and spread within a host population.
