Spring Half-Term CoursesThe Department formerly known as Biology divided into two separate departments, EEB (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology) and MCDB (Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology). The Interdepartmental Program in Biology (BIOLOGY) is administered jointly by the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) and the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology (MCDB). Beginning with the Fall 2002 term, there have been some changes in how courses are listed. 100 and 220 - level courses are listed under the subject of BIOLOGY, as are some of the core concentration courses such as Genetics, Biochemistry, and Evolution. Intermediate and upper level courses are listed under EEB or MCDB, depending on the course topics. Students must look under the three subjects to see whether or not a course is being offered. Those students planning to register for independent research, 300 or 400, will enroll in either MCDB 300 or 400 or EEB 300 or 400, based on their faculty sponsor's departmental affiliation. Courses in Biology Courses in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology MCDB 300(BIOLOGY 300). Undergraduate Research.Instructor(s):Prerequisites & Distribution: Eight credits of biology and 3.0 grade point average in science; permission of faculty member in biology. (1-3). (Excl). (BS). (INDEPENDENT). May be repeated for credit for a maximum of 9 credits. Credits: (1-3). Course Homepage: No homepage submitted. MCDB 300 is intended primarily for juniors, including Biology or CMB Honors students, who wish to pursue independent research at an intermediate level in an area of biological science. Students may ask an appropriate faculty member in the Department of Molecular Cellular and Developmental Biology to direct the research project and supervise related readings. Alternatively, students may identify a research advisor in another LS&A department, the UM Medical School, or another unit on the UM campus. Students conducting independent research in such outside units must identify a co-sponsor within the Department of MCDB. Independent research is defined as a laboratory project in which the student will have a say in the design, conduct, and interpretation of experiments. Library research projects and lab projects which are strictly a technical training experience do not qualify for credit as undergraduate research. A final paper is required and must be approved by the research advisor. The work in this course may continue for two semesters. A 'Y' grade can be reported at the end of the first-term to indicate work in progress. At the end of the second term of MCDB 300, the final grade is posted for both term's elections. Students interested in MCDB 300 should obtain the brochure MCDB Department Policies on Undergraduate Research from the Undergraduate Biology Program Office (1111 Natural Science Bldg).
MCDB 400(BIOLOGY 400). Advanced Research.Instructor(s):Prerequisites & Distribution: 12 credits of biology, 3.0 average in science, and permission of faculty member in biology. (1-3). (Excl). (BS). (INDEPENDENT). May be repeated for credit for a maximum of 9 credits. Continuing Course. Y grade can be reported at end of the first-term to indicate work in progress. At the end of the second term of MCDB 400, the final grade is posted for both term's elections. Credits: (1-3). Course Homepage: No homepage submitted. Intended for those engaged in original laboratory research at an advanced level. This course number is most frequently elected by senior Honors students who have completed MCDB 300 and who are completing their research and writing their thesis. A final paper is required. (Refer to the description of MCDB 300 for more information.) The work in this course may continue for two semesters. A 'Y' grade can be reported at the end of the first-term to indicate work in progress. At the end of the second term of MCDB 400, the final grade is posted for both term's elections.

MCDB 436(BIOLOGY 436). Introductory Immunology.Instructor(s): Kenneth J Balazovich (kbalazo@umich.edu)Prerequisites & Distribution: BIOLOGY 305 and biochemistry (BIOLOGY 310, 311, or BIOLCHEM 415). (3). (Excl). (BS). May not be repeated for credit. Credits: (3). Course Homepage: http://coursetools.ummu.umich.edu/2003/spring/mcdb/436/101.nsf This course is intended to introduce students in pre-professional and biology concentrations to the theoretical and experimental principles of immunology. Topics covered include: a detailed study of the molecules, cells, and organs that constitute the immune system; the innate and adaptive immune responses; the role of the immune system in host defense, allergy, and organ transplantation. Topics will be illustrated with clinical case studies. Grades are based on three exams. The course is appropriate for concentrations in biology and cell and molecular biology.
