UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE COURSES
MICR 421.3
Principles of Immunology
1(3L)
Prerequisite(s): BIOC 200; MICR 214 or APMC 212.

Emphasizes the fundamental aspects of immunology dealing with the structure, genetics and function of antibody molecules, and the cellular and molecular regulation of immune responses. A portion is devoted to regulation of the immune response to tumours and particular parasites.

MICR 423.3
Immunopathogenesis of Microbial Infections
2(3L)
Prerequisite(s): MICR 421.

Explores microbial interactions with the host and its immune system. Various models of bacterial, viral and parasitic immunopathogenesis will be covered as well as intervention through vaccines or immune modulation.

MICR 425.3
Molecular Basis of Microbial Pathogenesis
2(3L)
Prerequisite(s): MICR 214, a course in genetics or molecular biology; or permission of the department.

Explores ways in which microbial pathogens interact with their hosts from a molecular and genetics perspective. Topics include: general pathogenic mechanisms of bacteria, viruses and parasites; bacterial virulence factors and their genetic regulation; molecular genetic approaches to studying pathogenesis; and various model systems which have been used to understand pathogenic mechanisms.

MICR 490.0
Seminar
1&2(1S)

In their final year, students in the Honours Microbiology program are required to present one departmental seminar and to attend all departmental seminars.

MICR 491.6 (Formerly 497)
Research Project in Microbiology
Prerequisite(s): Minimum cumulative average of 70% in those courses counting toward the microbiology requirement of an Honours Degree in Microbiology. Permission of department is required.

A research project is selected in consultation with a faculty supervisor in whose laboratory the research will be carried out. Students will become familiar with the scientific literature and the laboratory techniques pertinent to the project. Experimental work will be undertaken and data compiled and analyzed. To complete the research project, a written report will be tabled and a short oral presentation will be given to faculty and students.

Note: Intended primarily for those students majoring in microbiology who are considering a post-graduate degree in microbiology or another area of the life sciences.




Special Topics

These courses are offered occasionally by visiting faculty and in other special situations. Students interested in these courses should contact the department for more information.
