The years before June 2001
General Biology
This course is designed for the first grade of medical school
students as well as the first grade college students who majored in
biotechnology. This course covers topics in cell chemistry, cell
structure and function, and major metabolic processes. Students will
learn to recognize different organisms and the evolutionary processes
responsible for the great diversity in life forms. The relationship
between structure and function will be introduced at different levels.
Cellular mechanisms of control and reproduction will be studied, as well
as basic genetic and evolutionary principles . A comparative analysis of
systems including reproductive highlights the relationship between form
and function. Thirty six hours of experiments are required.
Marine Biology
This is an open course (public course) specially designed
for all undergraduates of all kinds of majors in Zhejiang University.
The course will introduce students to varities of biota in China Sea
especially those live in East China Sea; students will also be
introduced to the range of marine environments within the biosphere -
and the factors which generate this variety. The aim of this course is
to make non biological students familiarise themself with a range of
marine life found (mainly) in China water. In the class, a bunch of
videos and pictures will be used to demonstrate marine life. Students
will also learn basic knowledge about the ecology and
environmental physiology of selected marine organisms. A full day trip
to Zhejiang Coast is suggested before the end of this course, students
will see the real marine life and their environment.
Developmental Biology
This course is designed for both the undergraduate and graduate students
who majored in biology, cell biology, and biotechnology. The purpose
of this course is to acquaint the student with the basic processes
during embryonic development and cellular differentiation of plants and
animals. The emphasis will be on the interpretation of important
experiments that have led to an understanding of the basic principles of
development. The contents contain: 1) Principles of experimental
embryology; 2) Fertilization and early invertebrate development; 3)
Later embryonic development; 4) Patterning the vertebrate body
plan; 5) Ramifications of developmental biology; 6)Sex determination; 7)
Organogenesis and limb development ; 8)Metamorphosis, regeneration and
aging; 9)Environmental regulation of development ; 10)Environmental
regulation of development ; 11)Plant development; 12)Evolution and
development
Zoology
This course is designed for college student (undergraduate students) who majored in biology and
biotechnology. The aim of this course is to let students achieve a good
balance between structure, function and principles; to give students the
knowledge about the relationship between human being and animals.
The contents contain: Functional systems of animals; reproduction and
evolution; the animal kingdom; ecology.
Histology
The purpose of this course is to teach students how to identify various
cell types in tissue sections, and to identify a variety of normal
tissues. This course will also emphasize the organizational aspects of
the body at the subcellular, cellular, tissue and organ levels, it will
also sketch out molecular correlates and functional implications of
biological structure. It is intended that the integrated perspective
presented in Histology will provide a framework for the more detailed
molecular and functional aspects you will be taught in subsequent
courses in the Basic Sciences such as Biochemistry and Physiology. The
class time will include lecture and demonstration of various tissue
slides using a video microscope. Access to a microscope is thus required
for this course. Histology will also be central to your understanding of
the mechanisms of infection, disease and drug action presented during
the second year in the Microbiology, Pathology and Pharmacology courses.
During Jun. 2001-Dec. 2004, I was a postdoc at
the Brody School of Medicine, East Carolina University, no teaching
obligation at Zhejiang University.
