EXCITING NEW COURSE AND OPPORTUNITY!!

BIO 490: Special Topics- Authentic Research in Epigenetics: Effects of Chromatin Structure on Aging

This course provides a unique opportunity to conduct research in an emerging field under the instruction of a practicing biologist. Students will be introduced to current topics in chromatin and epigenetic inheritance using lectures and directed readings in the primary literature. However, the majority of coursework will consist of research at the bench – students will learn modern genetic, molecular, and cytological techniques while completing an independent research project on how lifespan in C. elegans is affected by global chromatin state.

Prerequisites: BIO 201 with a grade of “C-“ or higher, and junior or senior standing.

Current OU Students interested in taking BIO 224 Cancer Biology in Spring of 2017:

We were just approved to add BIO 224 to the Spring 2017 schedule!!!!

BIO 224 Cancer Biology will be offered MWF 11:45-12:45 with lab on Friday 2-5 (with some weeks where lab time is devoted to service/volunteer work)

We need 8 students to sign up for the class for it to happen. Sorry for the late post, but hopefully this helps some of you interested in taking this elective this year!
