3 SH)
Under the direction of a faculty member, this course guides a student through the process of library research. Each student selects a specific biomedicine-related topic and then researches primary and secondary literature to gain understanding and insight on their chosen topic. In addition to developing a mastery of the major components of the natural science aspect of the topic, the student is required to incorporate transdisciplinary elements of the topic that include social science, theology, and ethics. The outcome includes preparing an oral presentation and a review paper written in a CSE style. This course is a continuation of library research conducted during the summer after the first year of course work.

The intended audience for the class is chemistry, biochemistry and biology students, particularly those who are interested in pre-professional health careers, industrial careers in biotechnology or pharmaceuticals, public health, or graduate work in chemistry, biochemistry or biology. In this class, we will study the principles that govern the process of modern drug discovery & development and to gain insight to the modes of activity of the major classes of drugs (antibiotics, antivirals, analgesics, anticancer, steroids, antihistamines, etc.) Students will primarily be evaluated based on appropriate scientific writing.
