ENV-444: Exploratory data analysis in environmental healthThis course teaches how to apply exploratory spatial data analysis to health data. Teaching focuses on the basics of spatial statistics and of epidemiology, and proposes a context to analyse geodatasets making it possible to study the relationship between health and the environment.
PHYS-301: Biophysics : physics of the cellIn this course we will study the cell (minimum unit of life) and its components. We will study several key cellular features: Membranes, genomes, channels and receptors. We will apply the laws of physics to develop models to make quantitative and predictive statements.
BIO-512: Digital epidemiologyEpidemiology is a cornerstone of public health. Understanding the distribution and dynamics of diseases is critically important to manage or prevent them. Modern digital approaches are used increasingly in epidemiology. This course teaches both the basics of epidemiology as well as those approaches.
BIO-480: Neuroscience: from molecular mechanisms to diseaseThe goal of the course is to guide students through the essential aspects of molecular neuroscience and neurodegenerative diseases. The student will gain the ability to dissect the molecular basis of disease in the nervous system in order to begin to understand and identify therapeutic strategies.
MATH-493: Applied biostatisticsThis course covers topics in applied biostatistics, with an emphasis on practical aspects of data analysis using R statistical software. Topics include types of studies and their design and analysis, high dimensional data analysis (genetic/genomic) and other topics as time and interest permit.
BIOENG-399: ImmunoengineeringImmunoengineering is an emerging field where engineering principles are grounded in immunology. This course provides students a broad overview of how engineering approaches can be utilized to study immunology, model immune systems, modulate immune response, and develop novel immunotherapies.
MATH-535: Topics in algebraic geometryThis course is aimed to give students an introduction to the theory of algebraic curves and surfaces. In particular, it aims to develop the students' geometric intuition and combined with the basic algebraic geometry courses to build a strong foundation for further study.
