Course Materials (syllabi, instructional web pages, computer lab materials) (Description only - full materials to be included in promotion dossier) Introduction to Molecular Epidemiology: 173:156 (University of Iowa) This course will serve as an introduction to the use of the basic techniques of molecular biology (DNA, RNA, and protein techniques) in various aspects of epidemiological research, including diagnosis of disease and biomarker discovery and validation. Infectious Causes of Chronic Disease: 173:257 (University of Iowa) Many typical chronic diseases have increasingly been found to have an infectious etiological component. This course will examine the evidence linking various infectious agents with the development of different types of chronic disease. Applied Infectious Disease Epidemiology: 173:159 (University of Iowa) Introduction to infectious disease surveillance diagnostic tools, outbreak investigations, vaccine trials, public health interventions, biodefense, emerging infectious diseases, and analytical approaches pertaining to infectious disease infection and control. Students also learn study design, ethics, and practical approaches to carrying out research in infectious disease epidemiology. Infectious Disease Epidemiology: EPI 63015 (Kent State University) In this course, the history, principles, methods, and practice of infectious disease epidemiology will be surveyed. Epidemiologic surveillance, disease outbreak investigation, and other methods used to elucidate the epidemiology of infectious diseases will be reviewed. The descriptive epidemiology of important infectious diseases of humans will be considered and the implications of this epidemiology for prevention and control discussed. While the focus of this course is on epidemiology of infectious diseases, the readings and discussions will incorporate relevant aspects of the microbiology of infectious agents of disease. Evolution in Health and Disease: PH 40195/EPI 60195/EPI80195 (Kent State University) Evolution is the unifying theory in all of biology, but is frequently missing from curricula in medicine and public health. Yet evolution has shaped the burden of disease in the modern world in which we practice medicine and educate for public health, and understanding the interface between evolutionary biology and the biomedical sciences may lead to improved medical therapies and public health practices. This course, appropriate for undergraduates in Biology, Anthropology, Public Health, and Nursing, among others, will examine what has been termed “evolutionary medicine” or “Darwinian medicine,” examining connections between evolution and biomedicine including infectious diseases, cancer, aging, and human genetic diseases. Communicable Diseases: PH 30012 (Kent State University) This course is a survey of communicable diseases of public health significance, with a focus on the relationship between underlying basic science principles and effective prevention and control measures. The course will offer a global perspective on the major communicable diseases affecting humans. Infectious diseases in history & culture: from antiquity to World War Z 40195/EPI 60195/EPI80195 (Kent State University) Infectious disease affects us all, but many areas within the field are controversial. Should I treat my child’s ear infection with antibiotics? Should I vaccinate my child (or myself?) 20 How do infectious diseases contribute to other “chronic” diseases? How does culture and social standing affect outcomes of infectious disease outbreaks? This course is appropriate both for humanities majors looking for an introduction to infectious diseases as well as science majors looking to better understand infectious diseases in their historical and cultural context, and the way these diseases have (and continue to) shape history, including the questions above. Ultimately, students should be able to understand the basics of infectious disease epidemiology and disease control within a wide cultural context. The course will encompass various topics in microbiology and infectious disease, using primarily popular non-fiction books on these subjects as sources. Ebola past and present: from Zaire to Kent 40195/EPI 60195/EPI80195 (Kent State University) Ebola has been known to humankind for almost 40 years, but the recent outbreak in West Africa has brought it to the public consciousness like no time before. However, many people don’t know the story of the Ebola virus. What is its history? Why did this outbreak happen? How did it jump to the United States? How and why did the West African outbreak begin in the first place? This course will cover the history of the virus, and the biological, social, and political aspects that have made this outbreak into the largest Ebola outbreak on record by far. III. SCHOLARSHIP A.
