Students will learn how to present their experimental processes and findings to peers and advisers. Graded S/U/F.
Semester course; 2 laboratory hours. 2 credits. Students conduct laboratory rotations to advance their laboratory techniques, develop comprehensive literature review skills and in-depth principles of experimental design. Students will develop enhanced communication skills to convey complex research findings to diverse audiences. Graded S/U/F.
Semester course; 2 laboratory hours. 2 credits. Students engage in laboratory rotations to develop innovative laboratory techniques, learn to formulate novel hypotheses and conceive complex experiments. Students will master the ability to convey their experimental findings to both expert audiences and the general public. Graded S/U/F.
Semester course; 1 lecture hour. 1 credit. Enrollment is restricted to graduate students. This course is designed to provide students with background knowledge about issues related to and build resources for ensuring reproducibility and transparency in research. Taught in six two-hour blocks during the summer. Graded as satisfactory/unsatisfactory.
Semester course; 3 lecture hours. 3 credits. Prerequisite: BIOC 503 or PGHS 505 with minimum grade of B, or or by permission of the instructor. An interdisciplinary introduction to molecular mechanisms important in eukaryotic inter- and intracellular signaling. Topics covered: common signaling mechanisms (heterotrimeric G proteins and G-protein-coupled receptors, small G proteins, tyrosine kinases and MAP kinases, and ion channels), membranes, lipids and ions (calcium signaling, phosphoinositols and lipid signaling through GPCRs), immune and metabolic kinase cascades (AMP-activated kinase, NFκB and Jak/Stat pathways), and programmed cell death.
Semester course; 1 lecture hour. 1 credit. May be repeated for credit. Enrollment is restricted to students in the M.D.-Ph.D. program. This course is intended for first-year M.D.-Ph.D. students as a complement to the ongoing medical curriculum and is designed to expose them to research literature related to their ongoing course work. The objectives are to introduce students to original research papers from the current and classical literature and to provide practice and training in effectively identifying and discussing key hypotheses, methods, results and conclusions, as well as in evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of papers. Graded as Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory.
Semester course; 1 lecture hour. 1 credit. Enrollment is restricted to students in the M.D.-Ph.D. program. This course is intended for second-year M.D.-Ph.D. students as a complement to the ongoing medical curriculum. Clinical faculty or physician-scientists present a patient and then either the physician-scientist or a basic science faculty member discusses the basic science underpinnings of the disease in question. The sessions are coordinated with the MS2B curriculum. Active student participation in the discussion of the case and scientific basis is expected and required. Faculty members are encouraged to present informal sessions designed to encourage student participation and engaged learning. Graded as Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory.
Semester course; 1 lecture hour (alternate weeks). .5 credits. May be repeated for credit. Enrollment is restricted to students enrolled in School of Medicine M.D.-Ph.D. training while in the medical or graduate phases. Course exposes M.D.-Ph.D. students to state-of-the-art research in a range of fields. The objectives are to provide an opportunity for students to attend formal research presentations by faculty experts; participate in discussions of the underlying hypotheses, research methods, critical results and interpretation of data; give formal presentations based on their own research and receive feedback. Graded as Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory.
Semester course; 1 lecture hour. 1 credit. Faculty and/or visiting lecturers present current research in basic health sciences. Students attend 12 seminars per semester in any of the basic health science or clinical departments in the School of Medicine and submit a one-paragraph (approximately 100-word) summary description of the seminar. Graded S/U/F.
Semester course; variable hours. 0.5-4 credits. Lectures, seminars, tutorial sessions, Web-based courses and/or library research assignments in selected areas not available in other graduate-level courses or as a concentrated emphasis on a particular topic. Graded as S/U/F.
Semester course; 0.5-4 variable hours. 0.5-4 credits. Lectures, seminars, tutorial sessions, Web-based courses and/or library assignments in selected areas not available in other graduate-level courses or as a concentrated emphasis on a particular topic.
Semester course; 1-3 research hours. 1-3 credits. May be repeated for a maximum of six credits. Enrollment is restricted to students in an M.D.-Ph.D. dual degree program. Initial research experience leading to Ph.D. degree for students in M.D.-Ph.D. dual-degree programs. Research experience can be undertaken in one or more laboratories. Graded as satisfactory/unsatisfactory.
Semester course; 1 seminar or workshop hour. 1 credit. May be repeated for a maximum of two credits toward graduation. A professional development course for graduate students in the biomedical sciences that covers topics such as: university, School of Medicine, department and program resources available; categories of artificial intelligence along with ethical considerations, responsibilities and best practices associated with their use; constructing a job search strategy in their respective area; foundational leadership tactics including leading of self, leading of others, having difficult conversations that are productive, working as part of a team, resiliency, work-life balance and managing up as described in a self-generated leadership profile; the overall timeline and major steps associated with publication of scholarly articles and submission of grant applications. Students will participate in engagement activities such as team-based learning projects, team-based presentations and assisting with selection and order of topics to be covered.
