Population genomics is the study of the structure, function, and variability of the entire genetic complement of organisms considered on a population scale. By examining how gene variants change in structure and frequency in populations over time, we can study the process of evolution and how it contributes to biodiversity and the formation of new species; this information can be used to increase the efficacy of conservation efforts. By studying gene variants underlying diseases at the scale of populations, we can better diagnose complex polygenic diseases like cancer. This course introduces the fundamentals of population genomics and provides an overview of the subfields of evolutionary genomics, conservation genomics, and medical genomics. This course is offered in summer terms only.

An understanding of physiology is an invaluable part of any budding physician, scientist, or healthcare provider’s repertoire. Discover classical anatomy and physiology of the human body as we explore the nervous, muscular, cardiopulmonary, renal, digestive, and immune systems, and learn how each effects health and disease. In addition to classroom study, you will be challenged to synthesize this newfound knowledge by participating in interactive activities. If you wish to pursue biomedical and scientific studies in the future, you will utilize the knowledge of the basic physiological processes learned in this program.

An understanding of physiology is an invaluable part of any budding physician’s or scientist’s repertoire. This course introduces classical physiology in the human body, and how it functions in both health and disease. This, the first of a two-part course (Anatomy, Physiology & Disease: Guts, Hormones and Reproduction is optional but should be a consideration), will cover core topics including nervous system, muscular, and cardiopulmonary physiology and disease. Additionally, students will be working outside the classroom to consolidate and reinforce their new understanding of the subject. Ultimately, knowledge of basic physiology should impact future research and serve as a foundation for all future scientific and biomedical endeavors.

What does it mean to “design” an experiment? How do scientists go about planning experimental approaches that test specific hypotheses and provide informative results? These are the types of questions that lie at the heart of independent research. For example, scientists might ask: What analytical methods are best suited to answering a specific question? Which samples should be included in the analysis? What types of variables could influence the outcome of the experiments? This course will address such questions by having students design and carry out experiments to test specific hypotheses. Emphasis is placed on planning the experimental approaches and setting up experiments that include appropriate controls. The specific techniques used in the lab will vary but include standard techniques in molecular biology such as gel electrophoresis, PCR, and gene expression.

CRISPR (clustered regularly-interspaced short palindromic repeat) is one of the greatest advances in biology in the past decade, providing researchers with the tools to precisely and affordably edit genomes and physicians a new tool to cure disease. However, the ability to edit plant and animal genomes, including human genomes, comes with significant ethical considerations. This course will utilize a hybrid classroom-laboratory approach to provide students with both a comprehensive knowledge of the CRISPR system and a deeper understanding of how gene function is studied. At the end of the semester, you will not only understand how CRISPR works, but also have a better understanding of the power of genetics to illuminate molecular mechanisms of protein function.

We often think of bacteria in the context of dangerous or annoying infections. However, bacteria themselves can be infected by even smaller and more abundant entities: viruses called bacteriophages. This First-Year Seminar will combine readings and discussion of the fundamental biology of phages and their role in controlling populations of bacteria, with lab work to discover new phages from the Johns Hopkins campus. Phages identified in this class will be added to the Science Education Alliance’s archive which is comprised of phages from over 100 academic institutions worldwide and is a resource for phage biologists and physicians directly involved in developing phages as a treatment for disease.

In the age of Molecular Biology, DNA sequencing allows the identification of genes. Biochemical assays allow the measurement of gene expression. Reverse transcriptase and PCR are used to determine the RNA made by activated genes. These tools allow the study of disease organisms on the molecular level with emphasis on particular genes, known as virulence genes, which enable the disease organisms to attack the human body. This First-Year Seminar will introduce students to the disease tuberculosis, to human innate and adaptive immune systems and to the molecular biology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, an intracellular pathogen which infects humans and manipulates the human immune response to escape detection and elimination. We will even grow cultures of Mycobacterium smegmatum, M. tb’s harmless relative. In addition, millions worldwide have tuberculosis, and this disease is a case study in the measures that are being used to control the spread of an epidemic disease. Students will learn through by readings from books such as The White Plague by Rene’ and Jean Dubos, The Microbe Hunters by Paul de Kruif, The Aetiology of Tuberculosis by Robert Koch and Fever by John Fuller, videos, class interactions and discussions, and after the introductory portion of the course, by presentations of research papers about M. tuberculosis pathogenesis and treatment. Finally, we will explore recent genomic research that has yielded specific Mtb peptides that give evidence of being the basis of first effective vaccine for tuberculosis.

Explore the current understanding of the biology of diseases in this upper-level elective! Each week, a new faculty member will present one class in a lecture style, followed by one class in an interactive discussion style. The faculty member will describe a disease and the fundamental biology relating to that disease and discuss the current state of the field, how their research influenced understanding of the disease, and progress towards treatments. The topics will build upon the basic concepts covered in genetics, cell biology, and molecular biology, and introduce topics related to biochemistry and developmental biology. The class will discuss a wide range of diseases including vision disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. Class assessment will be based on homework involving asking questions about the seminar, writing brief summaries of seminars and discussions, and a final project related to topics and techniques from the semester. Open to juniors and seniors. This course is offered in fall terms only.

While the “war on cancer” has produced modest victories with respect to clinical outcomes, our knowledge of the cellular mechanisms of cancer is now vast and represents one of the most significant scientific achievements of the past 40 years. Key aspects of cancer biology will be covered with a combination of textbook and original literature readings. Topics will include cancer cell characteristics, oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, apoptosis, metastasis and immuno-surveillance of cancer cells. Application of our knowledge to the rational treatment of cancer will also be discussed. This course is offered in fall terms only.

This class examines animal physiology from an evolutionary and comparative viewpoint. The goal is to examine the commonalities, as well as unique differences, in how various animal organisms address the necessary life functions. Topics will include metabolism, neural systems, respiration, muscle systems, water and salt homeostasis, thermal regulation, and reproduction. This course is offered in fall and spring terms only.

With the advent of whole-genome sequencing, many students wonder whether genetics is “solved” because we can “find the gene” for any human trait. In this course, we will build from the first principles of genetics up to human genetics in families and populations. Our goal will be to show that genetics and genetic thinking are critical to understanding human disease and a quickly growing area of modern biology. We will cover Mendelian transmission genetics to quantitative genetics using model organisms throughout to best show proofs of principle. The course will have weekly lectures, problem-solving sessions, two midterms, and a final.
