中文简介:
传染病是一个严重的全球公共卫生问题。它们具有杀死数百万人的潜力,无论它们是自然暴发或大流行,还是蓄意通过生物恐怖主义。由新出现的病原体引起的疾病有黑死病、弓形虫病、非洲昏睡病和恰加斯病。每天,传染病科学家都在第一线工作,保护我们免受这些威胁。在本课程中,学生将学习如何设计和评论实验,通过讨论初步的研究文章,探索疾病的分子基础造成的新病原体。这门课程是麻省理工学院生物系提供的许多高等本科生研讨会之一。这些研讨会是为有兴趣利用初级研究文献在高度互动的环境中讨论和学习当前生物研究的学生而设计的。许多本科生高级研讨会的讲师都是对教学有浓厚兴趣的博士后科学家。
课程简介: Infectious diseases represent a serious global public health problem. They have the potential to kill millions of people, whether they emerge naturally as outbreaks or pandemics, or deliberately through bioterrorism. Some examples of diseases caused by emerging pathogens are the Bubonic Plague, Toxoplasmosis, African Sleeping Sickness, and Chagas Disease. Each day, infectious disease scientists serve on the front lines protecting us from such threats. In this course students will learn how to design and critique experiments through the discussion of primary research articles that explore the molecular basis of disease caused by emerging pathogens. This course is one of many Advanced Undergraduate Seminars offered by the Biology Department at MIT. These seminars are tailored for students with an interest in using primary research literature to discuss and learn about current biological research in a highly interactive setting. Many instructors of the Advanced Undergraduate Seminars are postdoctoral scientists with a strong interest in teaching.
