I'm teaching the following subjects:
-
Metabolism. In my third year class (Chem 333), I focus on pathways of human energy metabolism. In addition, it illuminates hormonal regulation and metabolic diseases. Detailed course notes are available in PDF and HTML format.
In my fourth year class (Chem 432), I cover the metabolic aspects of diseases
such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, and gout. I also cover a little bit of gene therapy
of enzyme defects. Course
notes and
slides are
are available in PDF format.
-
Biochemical Pharmacology. This is my favourite subject. It is offered both as as a 4th year course (Chem 430) and as a graduate course (Chem 731/Chem 7310), sometimes simultaneously. Apart from some really ancient course notes,
I have written a book on the topic, with the help of my colleagues Alice Chan, Thorsten Dieckmann, and John Honek.
-
Computer methods for biochemistry. This title sounds more specific and grandiose than I
like but I can't really think of a better one. This subject has only been offered as a graduate so far, but I'm considering to adapt it to an undergraduate course also. The course is focused more
on worked examples and hands-on exercises than on covering a large amount of theory. Some
course notes are available, but they are not terribly comprehensive.
-
Biological Membranes. This class, taught as a grad course, is not as much fleshed out as the other ones. Detailed notes aren't available and probably won't be any time soon (or only so if I get a chance to teach this as an undergraduate course, too). Currently offered as a graduate course only.
