This course covers the biochemical mechanisms involved in regulation of gene expression: modifications of DNA structures that influence transcription rates, transcriptional regulation, post-transcriptional processing of RNA including splicing and...

This course will focus on different areas of biophysics with special emphasis on membrane phenomena. The biomedical-biological importance of biophysical phenomena will be stressed. The course will begin with an introduction to the molecular forces...

This class will introduce the concepts of basic neuropharmacology and the action of major neurotransmitter families in the brain. The mechanisms of action of the major psychoactive drugs families including cannabis, opioids, and psychedelics will be...

Organometallic chemistry and catalytic reactions have fundamentally changed the way drugs and polymeric materials are made today. Furthermore, they have enabled the synthesis and application of new electronic materials (e.g. in OLEDs and molecular...

In this advanced course, students will develop skill sets to independently understand, explain, and predict reactions of organic molecules. Principles of modern physical organic chemistry, such as bonding, hybridization, molecular orbital theory, non...

This class will cover the chemistry of a number of families of plant-derived natural products, including, terpenoids, phenolic compounds, and alkaloids. The coverage of aspects of the chemistry involving these natural products may include...

In this laboratory class, students will learn strategies to isolate and characterize natural products. Techniques used during this course may include solvent extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, mass...

This course trains students in the area of molecular modeling using a variety of quantum mechanical and force field methods. The approach will be toward practical applications, for researchers who want to answer specific questions about molecular...
