Prerequisites
None!

An introduction to various mathematical (and sometimes computational) approaches to analyzing biological systems. We'll learn mathematical models to population dynamics, disease, enzyme kinetics, etc., and primary motivations to using these models. For mathematicians with a curiosity in living things or living things with a curiosity in mathematics.


Prerequisites
Some knowledge of calculus and biology. Upper level math is helpful.

"Excuse me, you can't fish there." Is illegal fishing (or other miscellaneous sea activity) your Roman Empire? Do you want a career in computer science, math, or machine learning? This course introduces students to introductory machine learning methods. We will use these methods to make predictions. For example, using just radar data and information about the ship (like speed, distance from coast, etc.), we can predict if a boat is fishing or up to some other fishy ( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛) business. We will discuss machine learning models in the context of international fishing data, and get our feet wet with some experiments on public datasets. Get ready for a fin-tastic ( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛) time!

Also, I set the of(fish)ial ( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛) duration to three hours just for some extra time for troubleshooting but the course will likely be shorter.


Prerequisites
- Know what a quadratic, log, and polynomial function is (on the surface level at least) - Some slight familiarity with python or other coding background would be nice but not necessary

Interested in the sort of molecular biology experiments conducted in research and industry settings? This course will begin by giving a quick overview on DNA, RNA, and proteins and proceed to examine the basic theory and method regarding foundational bioanalytical techniques such as PCR, ELISA, gel electrophoresis and the cloning cycle. The course will then explore more technical experiments involving next generation DNA sequencing and common staining procedures performed on clinical samples.

Are you interested in learning about cancer? And specifically what role sugars play in helping cancer thrive?

This course will begin with a basic introduction to glycobiology - the biology of sugars in the human body - followed by an exploration into how sugars are able to alter the immune system.


Prerequisites
Basic understanding of cells is preferred

Have you ever wondered how we hear sounds? Come and listen to the class and find out just how you can do that!

How can we best learn and retain information? How can we then recall that information when we absolutely need to? In this course, we'll go over some basic info on learning and memory, and dive into some cool techniques we can employ to become better learners.

Quick! Don’t think about manually breathing in and out right now! Okay… now that you’re uncomfortably aware of your own breaths, let’s talk breathing and lungs. I’m sure you all know how important your lungs are, but what exactly makes them so important? How do we standardize “healthy” versus “unhealthy”?

In this course we will go over basic tests and mechanisms in the field of pulmonology. As well, we will apply this information to real-life scenarios that arose during the COVID-19 pandemic.

How can we visualize the tissues in our bodies at tiny scales? This course provides an introduction to biomedical imaging modalities, such as X-ray, CT, SPECT, PET, and MRI. We will also discuss recent research and clinical applications of the biomedical imaging techniques, from neurological diseases to cancers.
