Biochemistry
1. The biochemistry of internal diseases: A seminar course in the biochemistry
of the diseases of nutrition and metabolism. Assignments in the literature
are made and the student abstracts and reports on some phase of the topic
to be discussed. An attempt is made to correlate recent advances in clinical
biochemistry to disease. This group meets twice a month at night for two hours
throughout the session. An informal discussion is led by the faculty members.
The course is not given unless chosen by eight or more students.
Dr. Chanutin, Dr. Mulholland and Dr. Blackford.
2. Biochemical preparations: Individual instruction is given in the separation,
purification and identification of products of biochemical nature. 6 hours
of laboratory work a week during the entire year.
Dr. Chanutin.
3. Physiology of nutrition: An attempt is made to cover the subject of
nutrition in its broadest aspects. Various phases of digestion, respiratory, basal
and intermediary metabolism are studied. Previous knowledge in Biochemistry
is necessary. 1 hour a week during the entire year.
Dr. Chanutin.
4. Biochemical seminar: Papers pertaining to Biochemistry and related
subjects in the English, German and French literature are read by the participants.
The student is enabled to keep in touch with the advances made in the
subject. 2 hours a week during the entire year.
Dr. Chanutin.
5. Biochemical research: For those students properly qualified the laboratory
