中文简介:
蜱虫叮咬如何引起肉类过敏?蔓越莓汁对治疗尿路感染有什么作用吗?为了回答这些问题和其他问题,我们将深入研究微生物的分子世界。在本课程中,我们将使用主要研究文献来探索病原体与其宿主之间的分子相互作用,这些相互作用使微生物能够引起传染病。我们将研究病原体用来定植宿主的因素,以及宿主反应如何影响感染的结果。在课程结束时,学生将掌握评估科学文献的关键科学技能,并了解每天影响我们生活和健康的微生物。 本课程是麻省理工学院生物系提供的众多高级本科研讨会之一。这些研讨会是为有兴趣使用主要研究文献在高度互动的环境中讨论和了解当前生物学研究的学生量身定制的。高级本科生研讨会的许多讲师都是对教学有浓厚兴趣的博士后科学家。
课程简介: How can a tick bite cause a meat allergy? And does cranberry juice do anything to help cure a urinary tract infection? To answer these and other questions, we are going to take a dive into the molecular world of microbes. In this class, we will use the primary research literature to explore the molecular interactions between pathogens and their hosts that allow microbes to cause infectious diseases. We will examine the factors that pathogens use to colonize a host and how the host response can impact the outcome of the infection. By the end of the class, students will have both developed critical scientific skills in evaluating scientific literature and an appreciation of the microbes influencing our lives and health every day. 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.
