New Course: BIO484H5F The Diversity of Host-Microbe Interactions
The Department of Biology, University of Toronto Mississauga, is excited to announce a new course: BIO484H5F Selected Topics in Biology II - The Diversity of Host-Microbe Interactions.
Course Description:
Microbes may not be visible to our naked eyes, but they are ubiquitous in our environment and inside us. Through lectures and discussions, this course explores the diversity of host-microbe interactions and which factors determine whether these interactions are mutualistic or infectious. Topics include: microbial virulence, pathogens and disease, host defence, antibiotics and antibiotic resistance, host-microbe co-evolution and beneficial microbes. During this course, students will research a host-microbe interaction of their choice and present their work in mini-lectures.
Prerequisite: BIO206H5, BIO370Y5 or BIO373H5
