Dr. Xun Gu will be teaching an undergraduate-level introduction to transcriptome genomics this coming Fall 2019.  For more information about this opportunity, see here.

All biology majors must complete ecology (BIOL 312) to complete their Bachelor of Science in the program.  It includes both lecture and laboratory components in a single course.  There are currently two lecture sections (A and B) and twenty lab sections scheduled for Fall 2019.  The following information is to help students select which lecture section they wish to register for.  

Lecture Section A

Section A typically has enrollment of 260-300 students and requires students to be individually responsible for all their activities and grades.

This coming Fall, Dr. Xun Gu will be offering a BIOL 495 seminar on topics related to comparative genomics of transcriptomes (gene expressions) at an introductory level.  The course will meet on Thursdays from 5:10 pm to 6:40 pm beginning October 4th and ending November 8th.  If you are interested in signing up for this course, contact Dr. Gu by E-mail.  See the course description page here for more information.  

A new seminar course (BIOL 495) taught by Eve Wurtele will be offered in Fall 2018.  This course is designed for students with varied backgrounds to have an opportunity to work together to create a project that advances science or science education in an area the student cares about.  For more information, visit the course description page.

A new seminar course (BIOL 495) taught by Steven Howell will be offered in Fall 2018.  The course will discuss the challenges of feeding a growing human population over the next several decades.  For more information, visit the course description page.  

The Department of Biomedical Sciences, housed within the College of Veterinary Medicine at Iowa State University, offers a one-year, non-thesist master's program in Biomedical Sciences.  Students participating in the program have access to state-of-the-art laboratories and learning spaces.  In addition, they have the opportunity to work with world-renowned faculty whose research interests range from molecular neurotoxicology, to pediatric immunology, to targets for antiparasitic drugs.
