BSR1007 Laboratory Rotation - Spring

Credits: 4 Offered: Spring

Laboratory rotations are an important part of the first year of the Graduate Program at Mount Sinai. They give students the opportunity to experience different research projects, different laboratory and mentoring styles, and allow the faculty to assess the interests and aptitude of the students. In general, all PhD and MD/PhD students will complete one-three laboratory rotations (a minimum of two, in two different laboratories, is recommended) before declaring a research preceptor and a Multidisciplinary Training Area. The rotation facilitates the choice of preceptor and also offers students an exposure to problems and techniques of interest to them. For each semester, the student should submit the name of the rotation preceptor and start date of the rotation no later than the beginning of the semester. This is done via the submission of the Rotation Agreement Form.

BSR1026 Applied Biostatistics for Biomedical Research

Credits: 3 Offered: Spring

This course covers the foundational elements for the collection, analysis, and presentation of data in biomedical research. This course will cover the following topics: general principles of study design including internal and external validity; probability and sampling distributions, theory of confidence intervals and hypothesis testing; review of methods for comparison of discrete and continuous data including one-sample and two-sample tests, correlation analysis, and linear regression. Upon completion of this course, students should have introductory proficiency in statistics to apply their expertise to current biomedical challenges. This course will additionally facilitate important discourse around rigor and reproducibility and introduce students to innovative applications of biostatistics and data science to complex, real-world biomedical research ranging from building predictive algorithms for complex diseases to genetic analysis in ancestrally diverse populations. Diversity and Inclusion Statement: While science is assumed to be objective, the reality is that science is extremely subjective. Science does not exist in a vacuum. Our lived experiences, imbued with varying levels of power and privilege and exclusion and vulnerability over our life course, inform the biomedical problems we choose to explore, our conceptual framework, our methods, and our interpretations of our findings. We are a product of our society as is and as it was in the past. In this course, we must be respectful of others’ identities (i.e., race, gender, class, sexuality, religion, ability, etc.) and perspectives even if they differ from ours. We will address everyone by their preferred names and preferred pronouns. In this course, we will not make assumptions about what someone knows and does not know. We will make knowledge accessible to everyone. In this class, we will grow as scientists and, most importantly, as human beings.

In addition, a key feature of this class is that students will write a review paper on the neural and behavioral impairments of a chosen neurological or psychiatric disorder.

BSR2108 Structural & Chemical Approaches to Pharmacology and Drug Discovery

Credits: 3 Offered: Spring

This course attempts to recreate in a teaching environment the fundamental approaches of rational small molecule drug discovery research, and teach the fundamental molecular and physico-chemical principles that govern the capacity of small molecules to affect or regulate biological functions of macromolecules. The course consists of three themes, covering topics ranging from lead discovery to drug candidate selection, and to mechanism of action of drugs for both validated and emerging drug target families, as listed below:

Theme #1. Structure-based Drug Discovery

• lead discovery and optimization, and drug candidate selection

Theme #2. New Advances on Validated Drug Target Families

• drugs and mechanism of action on kinases, GPCRs and others

Theme #3. Emerging Drug Targets

• Identification and characterization of drug targets relevant to epigenetics, neurodegenerative diseases and cancer.

Theme #1 teachs the principles of discovery of biological targets and active compounds by hypothesis-driven and high-throughput approaches with both experimental and computational methods. This is followed by characterization of biological target interactions with lead compounds (i.e., structure, energy and dynamics). The inferred molecular mechanisms provide the basis for lead optimization through rational design and medicinal chemistry, and drug candidate selection through evaluation of drug toxicity and efficacy, as well as drug pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic properties.

Themes #2 and #3 review the latest advancements in drug discovery for both validated and emerging drug target families consisting of proteins involved in enzymatic catalysis, gene transcription and translation, protein-protein or protein-nucleic acid interactions.

Lectures will be given at both RPI and ISMMS by instructors from patent law firms, successful biotech entrepreneurs, and Mount Sinai Innovation Partners.

BSR3102 Principles of Scientific Proposals

Credits: 0.5 Offered: Spring

This semesterly-offered course will aim to inform and instruct students on the process of applying for a predoctoral fellowship. Students will learn the different funding mechanisms available to them for a fellowship and will ultimately prepare sev- eral components of the NRSA application with the intent of submission. The subject matter will include strategies for building a highly competitive application by thoroughly analyzing the scored review criteria: Fellowship Applicant; Sponsors, Collaborators, and Consultants; Training Potential; Institutional Environment and Commitment to Training; and Research Training Plan. It will also include strategies for converting a completed Thesis Proposal into the analogous documents for fellowship applications. The course will primarily focus on the application for an NRSA F30/31 award but will be applicable for students targeting other granting mechanisms that have the same components. Homework assignments will aid in the preparation of a fellowship application and will, therefore, keep students on pace for the current submission cycle. Prerequisites: Successfully having passed your Thesis Proposal Exam with the intention to submit a fellowship application by the end of the semester. Grading Policy: Pass/Fall
