Course Description
This course shows how molecular biology is steadily revealing the mechanisms of previously intractable problems, for example, control of gene expression. Topics include gene expression in bacteria (integrated control networks, two component signal transduction systems); transcriptional regulation in higher organisms and molecular techniques for studying gene function (the pre-initiation complex, signals that activate transcription factors, DNA cloning, and complementation techniques for identifying DNA-protein and protein-protein interactions); chromatin structure and gene expression; gene regulation and function in vivo; post transcriptional and translational control of gene expression (RNA splicing, RNA editing and mRNA stability); examples of alternative splicing; and protein synthesis (mechanisms and regulation of translation).

Course Description
This course builds upon the principles introduced in Pharmacology 1A, with a focus on more applied/systematic aspects of pharmacology. It covers the processes involved in drug design and development, from molecules to the clinical evaluation of new therapeutic agents. The pharmacology of autonomic and endocrine systems are described, and drug selectivity is explored through the study of antimicrobial and cancer chemotherapy, with a focus on selective toxicity. Students undertake a group-based pharmacological literature review.

Course Description
This course highlights the evolution of organisms and the transition of evolutionary concepts into many (bio)technical applications. The emergence of evolutionary theory from Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace is examined, as well as the influence of Cuvier, de Lamarck, Matthew, Lyell, Malthus, Spencer, Wagner, Owen, Gould, and Bates. Fundamental biological and biochemical insight is imparted and assessed in the context of the theory of evolution. To that end, four different approaches are presented: in situ, in vivo, in vitro, and in silico experiments.
