undergraduate lecture course
2 hour lecture / 2 hour workshop: 3 credits
Semester: every Fall and Spring
Cellular and biochemical processes will be compared at the cellular
and whole organism levels among a broad variety of organisms ranging
from bacteria, plants, fungi and animals to humans. For example water household,
nutrient uptake and excretion, intermediary metabolism, hormones, thermal
regulation, nerve and muscle physiology will be considered.

undergraduate lecture course
2 hour lecture: 2 credits
Semester: TBA
Areas covered in this course include phylogeny, evolution, habitats, growth cycles,
and genetic engineering of algae. In addition, biosynthetic pathways of algal products
and their metabolic regulation will be incorporated. Also, interdisciplinary topics
such as designing bio-reactors and nutritional sciences including values of natural
products from algae will be covered. The economic aspect of the course would include
patent law as well as management of culture collections, and companies dealing with algae.
It is anticipated to have guest speakers from companies to talk within the course objective
about their specialty. The course will consist of two hours lectures.

2 hour lecture; 1 hour discussion section and annotation practice: 3 credits
Semester: TBA
The course introduces students to the field of systems biology. A focus of the course is the
area of genomics in the background of metabolism. Students learn about reading and writing genomes and will
learn about sequencing entities such as the US DOE Joint Genome Institute. Using the example of algal genomes,
students then have to apply their learned knowledge to mine data within the genomes.
