CHEM 490/684 Advanced Mass Spectrometry: Fundamentals, Tissue Imaging, and Applications in Precision Medicine
Course Description: This course will cover the fundamentals of mass spectrometry, tissue imaging, mass spectrometry-based omics, and their applications in precision medicine. The course comprises regular lectures, presentations (group and individual), and primary literature. In this class, students will learn the principles of mass spectrometry including current methodologies, as well as how these state-of-the-art technologies can be used to understand complex biological processes. This class is intended for graduate and upper-level undergraduate students.
Areas: Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Toxicological Chemistry
Course Objectives: To provide students with a comprehensive understanding of mass spectrometry including fundamentals, tissue imaging, and applications.
CHEM 300 Analytical Chemistry
Course Description: This course is a combined lecture-laboratory class, in which students will be exposed to the theory and practice of quantitative chemical analysis, as well as concepts associated with chemical equilibria. Students will also get hands-on experience in gravimetric and volumetric techniques as well as basic principles associated with instrumental analysis techniques in the laboratory portion of class.
Areas: Analytical Chemistry
Course Objectives: At the end of the course, students will exhibit a thorough understanding of the principles and theory behind chemical equilibria, quantitative analyses (titrations, etc.) and basic instrumentation involved in chemical analyses. In addition, the students will be able to interpret the results and understand how to apply this knowledge to different samples.
