This course will outline the molecular mechanisms underpinning human cellular biological processes, their role in specialized human cells, normal development and homeostasis, and how changes in cellular function can lead to the pathobiology of human diseases.

PR/CR: A minimum grade of C is required unless otherwise indicated.
Prerequisites: HEAL 1502 (C+), or BIOL 1030 (C+) or BIOL 1031 (C+).

This course will provide an evidence-based guide for pharmacists on how nutrition and supplements can be applied in the management of disease or enhancement of health in pharmacy practice. Topics will focus on the underlying biochemical basis for nutrition management of selected chronic metabolic and genetic diseases. Chronic disorders for which pharmacists are most frequently consulted will be selected for discussion. Other topics could include frequently encountered diets or supplements.

This course provides students with an overview of the field of human genetics from the research laboratory to the clinic. This course will cover the topics of epigenetics, patterns of inheritance, population genetics, complex traits, prenatal diagnosis and ethics. May not be held with BGEN 3022 or BGEN 3024 or the former BGEN 3020.
