| ANAT602 - Techniques in Morphological Sc |
(2 credit hours) |
This course will introduce students to a variety of methods used in morphology research. The course will have both lecture and laboratory components and cover the theory, fundamental operating principles and specimen preparation methods for different morphological techniques such as immunohistochemistry, light and electron microscopy. The content of the course will also include the use of instruments and troubleshooting. At the end of the course students should be able to handle small laboratory animals, retrieve tissue samples from laboratory animal, fix and section tissues for light microscopy, confocal and electron microscopy, process biological tissue samples for immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, identify organelles at the EM level and collate and label micrographs.

| ANAT603 - Medical Cell & Tissue Biology |
(2 credit hours) |
This course will guide students in learning advanced information on the microscopic structure of the cells and tissues of the human body and the biological features of their components. The correlation of structure and function at the cellular and molecular levels will be emphasized in lectures and laboratory sessions. The application of cell and tissue biology to research and clinical disciplines will be emphasized. For each topic, an introduction to the cellular architecture and specialized function of a given tissue will provide the necessary background that will explore contemporary research into the molecular and cellular basis of human diseases involving that tissue or organ.

| ANAT604 - Stem Cell Biology |
(2 credit hours) |
This course is intended as an introduction and in-depth discussion focused on the biology of stem cells. The course will introduce the features of stem cells and basic mechanism regulating their self-renewal and pluripotency. In addition, the course will focus on selected examples of adult stem cells with an introduction to translational medicine approaches involving stem cell biology. Major emphasis will be placed on how advances in stem cell biology and tissue engineering can be applied to the use of embryonic and adult stem cells in regenerative medicine. In addition to these topics, Students will be introduced to the ethical, regulatory, and legal issues related to stem cell research.
