1210. Frontiers of Biomedical Engineering
The course covers basic concepts of biomedical engineering and their connection with the spectrum of human activity. It serves as an introduction to the fundamental science and engineering on which biomedical engineering is based. Case studies of drugs and medical products illustrate the product development-product testing cycle, patent protection, and FDA approval. It is designed for science and non-science majors.
(Prof. W. Mark Saltzman, Yale University: Open Yale)

1310. Understanding the Brain (Part I)
This course on the brain, its structure and functions consists of 36 lectures divided into 4 parts and is conducted by Prof. Jeanette Norden a recipient of multiple awards for teaching excellence. Part I covers the introduction to how the central nervous system is organized at gross, cellular and molecular levels and how this complex system emerges during development. At the end of Part I there will be a discussion on stroke.

1320. Understanding the Brain (Part II)
This course on the brain, its structure and functions consists of 36 lectures divided into 4 parts and is conducted by Prof. Jeanette Norden a recipient of multiple awards for teaching excellence. Part II explores how the brain and the mind are thought to be related. It covers three of the sensory systems and how information comes into the brain through the eyes, ears and body. Parkinson's disease will be covered at the end of this part.

1330. Understanding the Brain (Part III)
This course on the brain, its structure and functions consists of 36 lectures divided into 4 parts and is conducted by Prof. Jeanette Norden a recipient of multiple awards for teaching excellence. Part III covers higher order cognitive functions including language, emotion, learning and memory.

1340. Understanding the Brain (Part IV)
This course on the brain, its structure and functions consists of 36 lectures divided into 4 parts and is conducted by Prof. Jeanette Norden a recipient of multiple awards for teaching excellence. Part IV covers a range of interesting topics such as whether the brain of males and females are different, sleep, dreaming and consciousness. At the end of this part, Alzheimer's disease will be covered. There will be discussions on how this disease can be understood by knowing which part of brain degenerates and how the brain can be kept healthy and active to stave of this disease.

2120. Genomics and Medicine
This course discusses the kind of knowledge we hope to gain from sequencing human and bacterial genomes and the implications of such knowledge for medicine and biomedical research. We will discuss novel diagnoses and treatment of diseases, including stem cells, gene therapy and rational drug design. We will also discuss the ethical implications of genetic information.
