Integrated Biomedical Graduate Studies Courses

IBGS 501 (PDF)

Biomedical Communication and Integrity (2)
Improves students' scientific communication skills as well as increases their awareness of proper ethical conduct in biomedical research. Teaches appropriate techniques for written and oral presentations as well as ethics and standard practices for record keeping, data analysis, and authorship.

IBGS 502 (PDF)

Biomedical Information and Statistics (2)
Introduces students to the basics of statistical analysis in a relevant biomedical setting. Additionally, provides practical information on the use of database systems and software tools for data management and analysis.

IBGS 503

Biomedical Grant Writing (2)
Encompasses the process of writing a biomedical research grant from medical problem through final draft of an NIH style research proposal. With guidance from the instructor, students design and write a research proposal that is ready for submission to the NIH. Familiarizes students with potential funding sources, the process of formulating a fundable research plan, and communicating that plan in an appropriate format.

Cellular Mechanisms and Integrated Systems I (10)
The first quarter of a three-quarter sequence designed to give first-year graduate students a broad, integrated exposure to the molecular and cellular basis of modern human biology. Focuses on the structure and function of biological macromolecules such as proteins, RNA, and DNA.
Prerequisite: Admission to one of the basic science graduate programs, including MSTP.

IBGS 512
(PDF)

Cellular Mechanisms and Integrated Systems II (10)
The second quarter of a three-quarter sequence designed to give first-year graduate students a broad, integrated exposure to the molecular and cellular basis of modern human biology. Focuses primarily on cellular structure and function as well as anatomy and endocrinology.
Prerequisite: IBGS 511.

IBGS 513
(PDF)

Cellular Mechanisms and Integrated Systems III (10)
The third quarter of a three-quarter sequence designed to give first-year graduate students a broad, integrated exposure to the molecular and cellular basis of modern human biology. Focuses on how cells and molecules work together to create functioning organs, ending with a treatment of genetic, lifestyle, and microbial contributions to human pathology.
Prerequisite: IBGS 511, 512.

IBGS 605

Integrative Biology Presentation Seminar (X)
A seminar course that gives graduate students in the basic sciences an opportunity to practice oral presentations on current research or current literature covering the various aspects of regulatory and integrative biology as applied to molecules, cells, tissues, organs, systems and microbes. Students and faculty participate in a discussion and critical evaluation of the presentation.

IBGS 607

Integrated Biomedical Graduate Studies Seminar (X)
Weekly seminars presented by invited speakers in the biomedical sciences disciplines. Students required to register for course every quarter throughout their training.
