MICR 539 Molecular Biology of Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes (8)
Explores the processes of transcription and translation. Topics include the effect of chromatin on transcription; transcription initiation, elongation, and termination; RNA processing; regulation of gene expression by enhancers, silencers, repressors, and attenuation; tRNA; rRNA; ribosomes; RNA translation; protein folding and degradation; and posttranslational modification of proteins. Crosslistings: CMBL 502, BIOL 546, BCHM 539. Prerequisite: BCHM 511, CMBL 501 or equivalent. Staff.
MICR 545 Molecular Biology Techniques laboratory (4)
Laboratory course in modern molecular biology techniques for gene manipulation and analysis in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Evaluation and discussion of experimental results in group sessions. Ryu.
MICR 546 Advanced Immunology (4)
Emerging concepts of immunology first discussed by the class and then reviewed by guest speakers on a weekly schedule. Prerequisite: MICR 530 or equivalent.
MICR 565 Virology (3)
Fundamental aspects of virus-cell relationships of selected groups of animal viruses. Lectures and a library research project. Guest lecturers. Prerequisite: MICR 521 (MICR 511) or consent of instructor.
MICR 566 Cell Culture (3)
Practical aspects of the growth of animal cells in culture. Experience with both primary cell cultures and established cell lines. Gridley.
MICR 604 Seminar in Microbiology (1)
Students are required to register for this course every quarter throughout their training.
MICR 605 Colloquium (1)
Presentations by peers on a topic selected and directed by a graduate faculty member. All students are required to attend the colloquium. Students who are registered for colloquium are required to give a presentation. Staff.
MICR 606 Graduate Seminar (1)
A student presentation in the form of a seminar. The course requirement will normally be fulfilled by presentation of the dissertation or thesis seminar. Other major student presentations may also qualify.
MICR 624 Special Problems in Microbiology (2-4)
Designed primarily for students enrolled in a course work M.S. degree program who elect to work on a research problem. Staff.
MICR 625 Independent Study in Microbiology Literature (2-4)
In-depth exploration of a specific topic, selected in consultation with the mentor, such as the antecedents for theses or dissertation research. A formal proposal for the scope and evaluation of the independent study must be approved by the faculty prior to enrollment in this course. This does not satisfy an elective requirement in the microbiology program. Staff.
MICR 626 Special Topics in Microbiology (2-4)
Critically evaluates current progress in a specific research area, including recently published papers and unpublished manuscripts. Each course is taught by a resident or a visiting scientist who is a recognized authority in the research area under discussion. Students may register for multiple courses under this designation. Staff.
MICR 634 Clinical Microbiology Practicum (4)
Rotations through the clinical microbiology laboratory at Loma Linda University Medical Center. Includes exposure to all aspects of testing procedures necessary for the identification of microorganisms isolated from patient specimens. Instrumentation, automation, and rapid testing identification methods included with "hands-on" experience. Rotation to include TB and mycology, anaerobic bacteriology, blood, special microbiology, parasitology, and general bacteriology. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor. Lewis.
