This graduate-level course delves into the physical (organic) chemistry principles behind non-covalent interactions and their application and critical importance to the activity of biomacromolecules.

This course will introduce the fundamentals of medical imaging techniques, including CT, MRI, PET/SPECT, and ultrasound imaging, and focus on the chemical principles of developing different types of molecular imaging agents to improve the sensitivity and specificity for detecting diseases with high spatiotemporal resolution. The potential impacts of such emerging techniques on early and precise medical diagnosis, as well as on basic biologic sciences will also be discussed.

This course will cover the basic topics of how glycans are synthesized, hydrolyzed, and bound by proteins, focusing on the mechanisms of the enzymes and interactions of these polar biolmolecules. We will then show how these enzymes function in the pathways that lead to the N-linked and O-linked glycans present on over 60% of the human proteome. Finally we will discuss how metabolic engineering and bioorthogonal chemistry is used to understand these systems. At the end of the course a student will be able to explain the important mechanistic features of glycosyl hydrolases, glycosyltransferase, and carbohydrate recognition. A strong understanding of how the N-linked glycans are important in the secretory pathway and how the complexity of glycan structures arise. Finally, examples of how bioorthogonal chemistry can be used to study the glycome should be understood.

Rational Design and Directed Evolution: a) Helical structures, randomized library selections; b) Biomolecular recognition; c) Rational vs. nonrational design, in vitro and in vivo methods; d) Intrinsically disordered proteins, structure and function.

In this course, graduate students will learn about why certain biomolecules make better drug targets than others and different strategies towards developing a cure for diseases. We will survey the function of a biomolecule in its systemic and cell biology context followed by a discussion on the mode of action of a drug on a molecular level. Topics will include small molecule inhibitors against aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, proteasome inhibitors, PROTACs, RNA therapeutics, and antibodies. The course will include the discussion of methods used to assay the activity of enzymes and biological model systems as well as target identification. In addition to lectures, coffee chats with industry representatives and academic researchers associated with the topics discussed in the course will be offered. Presentations and the compilation of a mini review will give students the chance to practise skills that will aid them to succeed in their graduate degree.

The course gives an overview on chemical biology, with focus on applications in medicinal chemistry. The content will comprise of the technique and assays involved in high throughput screening, current medical imaging techniques alongside new developments such as fluorescence-guided surgery and photoacoustic imaging.

Fluorescence based tools (ions, signalling molecules etc.) small molecule and protein based. Design and application of chemogenetic and optogenetic tools.

Kinetics permeates all of biomolecular science and is vital for a quantitative understanding of diverse processes. This course is a workshop on using KinTek Explorer Chemical Kinetics Software to simulate diverse systems (https://kintekexplorer.com/features/).

These workshops will include topics indicated below but not limited to: oral and written communication skills; ethics in teaching, research, and scholarship; interpersonal interactions and approaches to conflict resolution; mental health and well-being; time and project management; development of an Individual Development Plan (IDP).

This course serves as the basic core course for the Institute's graduate studies concentration in comparative, international, and development education. It focuses upon the various theoretical conceptions of the socioeconomic development process and the role of formal and non-formal educational programs within that process. The basic purposes of the course are to introduce students to the comparative literature regarding education in advanced and developing nations, to evaluate the various ways in which comparative data may be used, and to examine the relative utility of various theoretical perspectives for understanding formal and non-formal educational policy problems common to many societies.
