Graduate Courses

56:121:510-511 Essentials of Biological Chemistry I,II (3,3) Two-semester course covering topics of biological chemistry required for research in computational and integrative biology. Course is open to graduate students in the program upon the recommendation of their advisory committees.
Prerequisite: 56:121:510 is prerequisite for 56:121:511.
56:121:520-521 Essentials of Biomathematics I,II (3,3) Two-semester course covering topics of biomathematics required for research in computational and integrative biology. Course is open to graduate students in the program upon the recommendation of their advisory committees.
Prerequisite: 56:121:520 is prerequisite for 56:121:521.
56:121:530-531 Essentials of Computer Science I,II (3,3) Two-semester course covering topics of computer science required for research in computational and integrative biology. Course is open to graduate students in the program upon the recommendation of their advisory committees.
Prerequisite: 56:121:530 is prerequisite for 56:121:531.
56:121:540-541 Essentials of Integrative Biology I,II (3,3) Two-semester course covering topics of systems biology required for research in computational and integrative biology. Course is open to graduate students in the program upon the recommendation of their advisory committees. 
Prerequisite: 56:121:540 is prerequisite for 56:121:541.
56:121:555 Cheminformatics (3) The course will teach the cheminformatics algorithms, workflows, and other relevant computational tools that the students may use or access in the future computer-aided drug discovery (CADD) work of pharmaceutical companies and academic institutes. The important knowledge of the second part of class includes chemical descriptors, chemical similarity, quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) modeling, model applicability domain, and virtual screening. The students will learn how to use the knowledge of cheminformatics to create the QSAR models and use the models to identify novel drug-like compounds.
56:121:560 Biophysics (3) An introductory biophysics course for graduate students with at least two semesters of undergraduate physics, intended for students trained in either the physical or life sciences. Themes will include both novel physical insights gained from study of biological systems as well as the power of physical descriptions for advancing biological understanding. The course will explore random and diffusive phenomena in cellular processes, the effect of frictional forces on molecular motion in the low Reynolds number environment of the cell, and the role of entropy and free energy in driving reactions and assembly.
56:121:565 Essentials of Biophysics (3) A course in basic physics for graduate students with an emphasis in the life sciences. The course will focus on classical Newtonian dynamics, electrostatics, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics with applications for molecular and cellular systems. Students will also conduct multiple readings from current topics in biophysics for classroom discussion, including DNA electrostatics, diffusion of lipids and proteins, molecular motors, and biodynamics.
56:121:590 Computational Modeling of Biological Systems (4) Team-taught course for students in the graduate program in computational and integrative biology. Emphasizes collaborative approaches to research in computational and integrative biology.
56:121:601 Seminar in Computational and Integrative Biology (1) Research presentations by students, faculty, and outside speakers. Open to students in the graduate program in computational and integrative biology.
56:121:620 Laboratory Rotation Practicum (4) Short-term involvement in a series of projects in different research laboratories over the course of a semester. Open to students in the graduate program in computational and integrative biology.
56:121:630 Manuscript and Proposal Composition (1) This workshop is an introduction to writing in the scientific genre, with a focus on preparation of proposals and manuscripts. Students will be guided through preparation of a fellowship or dissertation proposal, learn expectations for publication-quality data, figures, and text, and hone their ability to write scientifically through feedback from the instructor and peers. Prerequisite: Graduate standing.
56:121:701 Master's Project (4) Required project for master's degree in computational and integrative biology.
56:121:710 Dissertation Research (BA) Research toward the doctoral degree in computational and integrative biology.
56:001:897 PhD Full-Time Certification (0) Certifies as full-time for visa requirements, loan deferral and eligibility, and access to university health insurance and services. Available for students who have completed all required coursework and qualifying exams, and who have fewer than 9 credits of required dissertation research hours to complete. To qualify, students must be devoting a preponderance of effort to the completion of the doctoral program, including departmental assistantship duties; and must not be employed for more than 20 hours in other nondegree-related activities. Meets continuous registration requirements for graduation. Use for students living in university housing.
56:001:898 PhD Full-Time Certification (0) Certifies as full-time for visa requirements, loan deferral and eligibility, and access to university health insurance and services. Available for students who have completed all required coursework and qualifying exams, and who have fewer than 9 credits of required dissertation research hours to complete. To qualify, students must be devoting a preponderance of effort to the completion of the doctoral program, including departmental assistantship duties; and must not be employed for more than 20 hours in other nondegree-related activities. Meets continuous registration requirements for graduation. Use for students NOT living in university housing.
56:001:899 PhD Full-Time Certification (0) Certifies as full-time for visa requirements and loan deferral (and NOT for loan eligibility and access to university health insurance and services). Available for students who have completed all required coursework and qualifying exams, and who have fewer than 9 credits of required dissertation research hours to complete. To qualify, students must be devoting a preponderance of effort to the completion of the doctoral program, including departmental assistantship duties; and must not be employed for more than 20 hours in other nondegree-related activities. Meets continuous registration requirements for graduation. Use for students away from campus for the semester.
