Advanced Course. This course will cover the conceptual basis, major discoveries, and unsolved problems in human genomics, with an emphasis on disease applications. The goal is to make students conversant with the structures, functions, and natural histories of human genomes, the computational and experimental methods used to establish that knowledge, the applications of genomics to medical research, and the broader impacts of genomic research on the community.

This course explores a more advanced approach to nutrient function and utilization in humans. Specifically, comparisons between normal metabolic functioning to metabolic characteristics of chronic disease (e.g., diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obesity, cancer, etc.) at the cellular level will be covered. Additional topics include nutrition and the microbiome, genetic considerations, and exercise performance.

This course is a detailed study of the human skeleton, with focus on individuals at all life stages. Topics include biomechanics, embryology, and histology. Students will learn to identify hard tissue features and landmarks on whole and fragmentary bones and relate these to the associated soft tissue anatomy.

This course will provide students with advanced knowledge in the field of human performance training and evaluation through classroom lectures and laboratory/field experiences. Topics include developing and testing in strength, speed, power, agility, endurance, stability, and flexibility.
