BCEM 4201 - Lipids and Membranes Credit(s): 3 Lecture Hour(s): 3 Lecture Hours Schedule Type: Lecture, Blended, Online Lab Hour(s): 4
This course focuses on the characterization of membrane lipidome, lipid metabolism, and lipidomics. Lipidomics is an emerging subfield of lipid metabolism and is assigned to explore lipid profiles in biological systems. The course aims at integrating knowledge of lipid biochemistry and membrane biology with modern experimental approaches that allow for detection, identification, and quantification of lipids enabling students to understand the nature of various types of lipids and quantitatively assess lipid profiles of biological samples.
Prerequisite(s): A minimum grade of C- in both BIOL 2202 and BCEM 3202 . Note: Please note that this course will start with only lectures (3 hours per week) for the first part of the semester, and then switch to only laboratory delivery (4 hours per week) for the last five weeks of the semester.
