Abstract
EVOLUTION. 4 Hours. (TCCN = BIOL 1407) Reviews significant aspects of organismal biology and presents current hypotheses concerning the origin and diversification of life on earth. The ecological and behavioral interactions between organisms and their biotic/abiotic environments are considered from an evolutionary perspective. The laboratory will examine evolution, ecology and the diversity of life using hands-on observational and experimental approaches. Prerequisite: BIOL 1441. BIOL 2300. BIOSTATISTICS. 3 Hours. is a foundation in polymeric biomaterial design, synthesis, characterization, and processing. The topics include design, surface-engineering, functionalization, characterization, as well as micro- and nano-fabrication of polymeric biomaterials. The biomedical applications of the polymeric biomaterials and their interaction with is discussed. and biomedical applications nanobiomaterials. Topics synthetic nanobiomaterials, biological nanobiomaterials (DNA nanomaterials, and peptide biofunctionalization of nanobiomaterials, use of nanobiomaterials in tissue
