M3D Course Descriptions

MOLMED 504: Challenges in Cancer Immunotherapy
Focuses on an important topic in medicine and science. Lectures introduce clinical and basic science background, followed by a seminar/discussion with speakers. Prerequisite: Graduate standing and permission of instructor.

MOLMED 514: Molecular Medicine Seminar
Introduces how basic sciences impact the practice of medicine, using patient case histories to introduce key areas of clinical research and investigative medicine. Topics include cancer biology; drug development; gene- and cell-based therapeutics; inflammation and host response; vascular disease; and obesity and weight regulation.

MOLMED 540: Medicine in Action/Chief of Medicine Rounds
Examines how medical decisions are made and carried out, based on individual cases. Focuses on recent technologies that have contributed to diagnosis and treatment and how improvements in these technologies or development of novel technologies might improve diagnosis and treatment.

MOLMED/PATH 558: Integrative Omics
Explores how to integrate genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic approaches with state-of-the-art genetic engineering strategies to uncover a systems-level understanding of pathway interactions that regulate disease pathogenesis and complex phenotypes. Recommended: undergraduate biology or cellular and molecular biology.

PATH 520: Experimental Pathology Seminar 
Path Presents (PATH 520) is a seminar lecture series. The seminars feature presentations on current research in various areas of experimental pathology by members of the Department Laboratory Medicine & Pathology and visiting scientists. Please contact Brooke Emrich at bdh6@uw.edu if you have any questions about the Path Presents seminar lecture series.
PATH 550: Mechanisms of Disease
Examines the mechanisms of inflammation, cell injury, death, repair, immunity, and neoplasia as well as diseases of various organ systems. Systems covered include the cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, neurologic, endocrine, and genitourinary/renal systems. Topics presented through lecture, primary literature, and small-group discussion.
