BIO 521 Tissue Engineering 3 Credits
Tissue engineering combines the skills of engineering and knowledge of principle biology to generate, restore and replace damaged tissues and organs. To engineer living tissues mimicking conditions in living organism is essential. Therefore, tissue engineering is considered a biomedical engineering discipline and a potential alternative to tissue and organ transplantation. This course is built on three main pillars of tissue engineering: cells, scaffolds, and growth factors. Initially stem cells and differentiation is discussed as well as cell-based tissue engineering applications. Then design and characterization of biomaterials and nanomaterials as tissue scaffolds are covered. Here, various bio- fabrication techniques including 3D bioprinting are detailed. This course also covers the interaction with biomaterial surface, mechanical loading, biologic regulators, and culture conditions. Finally, examples of tissue engineering-based procedures that can alleviate specific diseases and clinical translation of regenerative therapies are analyzed as case studies with student presentations. This course also contains a laboratory session. At this session students will learn to handle mammalian cell cultures, prepare hydrogel and polymer scaffolds, perform tissue culture and characterization.

BIO 546 Biology of Aging 3 Credits
The course intends to provide an up-to-date overview of the field of aging and gerontology While all of us intuitively know what the aging is, many basic questions about aging are mysterious. Is aging itself a disease, and can we successfully intervene in the aging process? Or is it a program that one can hack? The course will start with a discussion of aging systems both from the view of biologist but also from the point of view of a system engenderer. We will explore the scientific discoveries made from studies of model organisms, which have led to revelations about the molecular biology of aging. We will look at aging at different angles – from population genetics to the “reliability theory”. The second part of the course will describe methods for studying aging, descriptions of population aging, and theories on how and why we age We are going to understand why older people more likely to experience neurodegenerative disorders, stroke, and cancer and what kind of changes happen at the molecular and cellular levels that are associated with these diseases. The third part of the course provides an in depth discussion of the processes of aging in various body systems. In combination with this we will discuss some medical treatments that can extend the lifespan of organisms as diverse as yeast and primates, and the implications for successfully intervening in age-related diseases. Finally, students will explore biological changes that occur with aging at the molecular and organismal levels and how they can be viewed from the perspectives of various disciplines.

BIO 569 Climate Change, Plant Health & Food Security 3 Credits
Climate change is predicted to adversely affect plant production in most of the agricultural areas around the world. Many established agricultural production systems are being questioned for their vulnerability to climate change, forcing farmers to adopt new management practices and modify their accustomed cropping systems. “Climate Change, Plant Health and Food Security’’ course will study the individual climate change variables in two sections. The first section will discuss the variables that have a broader and direct effect, viz., (i) elevating atmospheric carbon dioxide (eCO2) and (ii) rising global temperature. The second section will highlight localized effects of climate change (i.e. changing precipitation patterns, heat waves, frequency of agricultural droughts) on plant health and food security. In the first section, the contradictory interactions of eCO2 and high temperatures will be examined in light of recent literature. It is known that eCO2 alone can bring about significant profit in gross agricultural production, mostly by means of cultivation of C3 crop species and due to increased carbon abundance and the concomitant water-use efficiency. However, students will comprehend that the rising global temperatures challenge any optimistic predictions about the effect of global climate change on crop productivity. In the final part of the first section students will be given the task of performing a literature review on effects of major climate change variables on deterioration of the nutritional value of cereal grains (i.e. due to enhanced carbohydrate accumulation and thus dilution of protein and micronutrients in grain tissue). The second section will focus on increases in frequency and severity of abiotic stressors including but not limited to heat, drought, waterlogging, and salinity as a consequence of changes in the local climate. Topics will extend to impact of global and local climate change variables on crop pests and diseases. Potential effects of climate change-induced biotic stress factors will be discussed in particular of farm biosecurity and food security. In the final section of the course, mitigation and adaptation strategies for tackling local and global climate change variables will be introduced. Strengths and weaknesses of current breeding and agricultural management strategies will be discussed.

BIO 58002 Special Topics in BIO: Genome-wide Sequencing Techniques and Analysis 3 Credits
With the developments in molecular biology and DNA sequencing technologies, some biological problems can be addressed genome-wide. After Next- generation Sequencing (NGS) technology was established, the cost of DNA sequencing has been decreasing which leads molecular experiments to change their form. These experiments can now be designed to solve DNA-related problems at the genome scale. Consequently, a number of new NGS- based technologies are developed every year. Massively accumulating sequence datasets are often reanalyzed with the aim of answering related but distinct questions from different perspectives. Therefore, it is important to understand not only how these techniques work and but also how their outcomes are in silico analyzed. This course will cover a part of available sequencing techniques such as whole genome sequencing, exome sequencing, RNA-seq, GRO-seq, NET-seq, ChIP-seq, DNase-seq, FAIRE-seq, Hi-C-seq, XR-seq, Damage-seq, etc. The students will learn how to perform these techniques theoretically and how to analyze them practically. The students will be assigned to read and present related articles. Students will also perform an NGS-related project with the skills they will learn during the course flow.

This section will emphasize the pros and cons of dealing with large amounts of data. 3)Systems engineering and mathematical modelling approaches: this section of the course will involve computer -based network modelling and a systems engineering framework required for studying a multifactorial complex problem. Students will embody tools of mathematics, informatics and statistics. 4)Wetlab experimental tools used in integrative biology: the molecular and cellular tools commonly used to integrate across behavioral, physiological, and neurological levels will be introduced. Students will have to devise their own experimental design to test a novel hypothesis generated on their own that will enhance their current thesis work. This section will include possible practical work if it is deemed feasible and results obtained will be presented orally by the end of the course. In addition to the above sections which incorporate lectures and practical classes, students will be required to carry out an independent research project of their own, applying what they have learned in class.
