Courses
30010. Immunopathology (=Biosci 25258, IMMU 30010)
Jabri, Ashton-RickardtThis course is aimed at revisiting key immunological
concepts in the context of diseases. Emphasis is placed on understanding
the immunological basis of disease and the propositions of experimental
approaches to test immunopathological models.
30800. Molecular Basis of Defense Reactions
Getz and Staff
This course, the first in a three-quarter sequence (with Path. 30900 and
31000), describes the basic mechanisms involved in defense against and
pathogenesis of human diseases. Topics to be covered include inflammation,
coagulation, complement, wound repair, infection and immunopathology.
These are discussed in molecular terms insofar as that is possible. Prereq:
Biochem. 301 and 302, or equivalent.
30900. Molecular Mechanisms of Cancer Biology (=CABI 30900)
Le Beau, Rudin, Frank
The second part of a three-course sequence (with Path. 30800 and 31200).
An introduction to the molecular and cell physiological abnormalities
of cancer cells. Topics include the normal roles of proto-oncogenes and
tumor suppressor genes and their dysfunction in cancer, mechanisms of
oncogene activation, mechanisms of invasion and metastasis, and modalities
of cancer therapy. Prereq: Path. 30800, or consent of the instructor.
31200. Tubes (=MOLM 31200)
Getz, Turner, Solway
The last segment of a three-course sequence (Pathology 30800, 30900, and
31200). Current understanding of tubular organs, using gastrointestinal,
pulmonary, and vascular systems as models. Specific topics including organ
morphogenesis, cell polarity, barrier function, transcellular and paracellular
transport, luminal flow, wound repair, epithelial-mesenchymal interactions,
smooth muscle physiology, innate immune responses and inflammatory cell
interactions with epithelia and endothelia, atherosclerosis, myocardial
infarction, genetic models of disease are presented with particular reference
to human disease. Prereq: 30800 & 30900.
32100. Cell Biology of Disease
Meredith and Staff
A seminar course that examines clinical manifestations of various diseases
in the context of known or suspected cell biological or molecular genetic
defects. The general theme of the course changes annually and has covered
such topics as diseases whose roots are in cytoskeletal function.
Medical School Courses
30100. Cellular Pathology and Immunology
Meredith and Staff
A survey of basic mechanisms underlying cellular pathology, including
the following topics: inflammation and wound healing; the immune response
and immunopathology (immunodeficiency, hypersensitivity and autoimmunity);
neoplasia and carcinogenesis; and atherosclerosis and other vascular diseases.
30210. Clinical Pathophysiology and Therapeutics I
Husain and Stern
Pathological changes and clinical and laboratory manifestations of disease
entities are used to illustrate the principles of correlative pathophysiology
for each of the major organ systems. Prereq: Path 30100.
30220. Clinical Pathophysiology and Therapeutics II
Husain and Stern Murray
This is a continuation of Path 30210. Prereq: Path 30210.
Clinical Pathology and Pathological Physiology
33100. Microorganisms in Infectious Disease
Morello and Staff
Lecture and laboratory course on microbial pathogens that produce common
and uncommon infectious diseases. The proper use of the laboratory to
assist in diagnosing bacterial, fungal, and viral infections is emphasized.
Experimental and Comparative Pathology
36200. Individual Tutorial Projects in Experimental and Comparative Pathology
Kumar
36600. Molecular Nutrition (=HNUT 36600)
Reardon, Getz
Consideration is given to those selected topics in nutrition in which
modern molecular and cell biology provide a greater understanding of the
regulation of these metabolic pathways. Prereq: Biochemistry.
General
39000. Teaching of Pathology
Kumar and Staff
Prereq: Path 30100, 30200, and consent of instructor.
40100. Research in Pathology
Meredith
Open to a limited number of qualified students and graduates in medicine.
40200. Readings in Pathology: Selected readings in Pathology
Getz and Staff
Consent of instructor.
46000. Path Experience: Off campus
Kumar and Staff
Seniors who have satisfactorily completed the first 3 years of medical
studies. Applications must be approved in advance by the dean of students
and department.
