Topics in this course include hypothesis-driven research, basics of extramural funding, literature search, the meaning of “Intellectual Merit & Broader Impacts”, designing experiments, reporting results, tutorials on relevant scientific software, and the criteria for peer-review. The development of personal statements and biosketches will also be covered. Offered Fall.

CHM 7777 Chemistry Biology Interface Seminar Series Cr. 1
The Chemistry Biology Interface (CBI) seminar series will expose students to CBI-related research, CBI-related professional development activities, review of current literature, topics in rigor and reproducibility, and networking social activities. These activities will be in the format of presentations, panel discussions, workshops, small group discussions, or social activities. The goal is for graduate students from discipline-specific fields to move across a multi-disciplinary landscape, or for students already working in inter-disciplinary fields, such as chemical biology, to gain new expertise in specific disciplines. Beyond scholarly goals, the seminar series will enrich the graduate experience by providing career guidance, non-laboratory skill development, training in rigor and reproducibility, and professional networking. Offered Fall, Winter.
Restriction(s): Enrollment is limited to Graduate level students.

CHM 8888 Survey of Research at the Chemistry Biology Interface Cr. 3
The Chemistry Biology Interface course will teach students how to apply chemical approaches to study complete biological processes. It will commence with a basic overview of the biochemistry of biomolecules. Next, complex biological processes related to various diseases will be highlighted by introducing cell biology, model cells and organisms, and disease mechanisms. Finally, the course will highlight contemporary examples of how chemical methods are used to answer complex biological questions to show the value and innovation available by taking a multidisciplinary approach. The focus will be on development of skill sets that are applicable for research at the chemistry biology interface, rigor and transparency in data collection and analysis, and identification of cross-disciplinary research at Wayne State. Offered Winter.
