Biochemistry

Biochemistry | University of Pretoria

Welcome to the University of Pretoria's Department of Biochemistry.

Biochemistry,originally developed as a small crossover field between Biology and Chemistry,has matured over the years into an autonomous discipline that focuseson the molecular aspects of Biology. It shares techniques and interests with many other Life Sciences such as Microbiology, Pharmacology, Genetics, Medicine, Veterinary Science, Virology, Physiology and Food Sciences, but still retains firm links to Chemistry and Physics. In this sense,Biochemistry is the central discipline of all natural sciences.

At the University of Pretoria, the Department of Biochemistry focuses on molecular aspects of Diseases of Poverty including HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria as well as antimicrobial peptides. It also lays a strong emphasis on Structural Biology and Tea Research.

Prospective students are encouraged to browse the available academic programmes on offer. Clickherefor more information.

Neuroscience

Neuroscience – Washington & Jefferson College

The Neuroscience major and minor are rigorous interdisciplinary programs, administered jointly by an advisory committee with representation from the departments of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Psychology.

It is designed to provide a foundation in neuroscience and to allow students to focus their research interests in a variety of levels of nervous system functioning, from the activity of single neurons to the complexity of behavioral systems. Majors distribute their course work across the fields of biology, chemistry, philosophy, physics, and psychology as these disciplines all contribute to the interdisciplinary nature of the brain sciences.

The Neuroscience major requires 14 courses and the minor requires six. Internship and independent study opportunities are available.Additional course information is available in the W&J College Catalog.

Welcome to the Department of Neuroscience, located in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Our mission is to advance understanding of the nervous system through basic and translational research and to train the next generation of neuroscientists and physicians.

Our research interests are wide-ranging and include understanding thedevelopmentof neurons and neural circuitry; exploring howneural circuitsfunction; definingdiseaseprocesses that compromise neural performance; and explaining thebehaviorof organisms from a molecular, cellular, and systems perspective. We address these issues in both vertebrate and invertebrate model systems using techniques drawn from every major biological discipline.

Understanding behavior at all levels of function, from systems to cells, is one of the great challenges of modern biology. At Princeton University, faculty with research interests in neuroscience can be found in many departments, including Applied Math, Chemistry, Computer Science, Engineering, Molecular Biology, Physics, Philosophy and Psychology. This diversity mirrors the interdisciplinary nature of contemporary neuroscience research and provides a rich set of opportunities for research and training in neuroscience. This web site provides information about the shared and individual interests of neuroscience faculty at Princeton, the opportunities available for training at the graduate and undergraduate levels, and neuroscience-related activities on campus.

Human Behavior

Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior

Imaginewhat if you had access to a simple yes-or-no answer to any question you wished to ask? A demonstrably true answer. Any question . . . think about it.

from the Foreword

We think we live by forces we control, but in fact we are governed by power from unrevealed sources, power over which we have no control.

from the authors Preface

The universe holds its breath as we choose, instant by instant, which pathway to follow; for the universe, the very essence of life itself, is highly conscious. Every act, thought, and choice adds to a permanent mosaic; our decisions ripple through the universe of consciousness to affect the lives of all.

from Power vs. Force

[A] beautiful gift of writing . . . [You] spread joy, love, and compassion through what you write. The fruit of these three is peace, as you know . . .

Mother Teresa

. . . particularly timely . . . a significant contribution to understanding and dealing with the problems we face today.

Lee Iacocca

I especially appreciate [the] research and presentation on the attractor patterns of business . . .

Sam Walton

Overwhelming! A masterpiece! A lifetime work!

Medical Embryology – Development of the Aortic Arches and …

This video should help students get a grasp on the ridiculously complex series of events that take place during development of the large vessels. From the small aortic arches in the pharyngeal region to the aorta, pulmonary arteries, and subclavian arteries, this video will show you step-by-step how our vasculature develops. Enjoy!
