From the NJIT Department of Biology, the Graduate Certificate in Biology of Health is an exciting program in human biology in health and disease. Students will gain a mechanistic understanding of genetic, cell biological, anatomical, and physiological processes, both at a foundational level and in the context of pathological conditions. They will learn to connect fundamental biological mechanisms with disease states, both at the level of general pathology and in medical case studies. This certificate program covers: Cell Biology of Disease - Brief review of normal physiological function of humans followed by an extensive exploration of the basis of many human diseases at cellular level. The goal is to understand how alterations in normal cell functions affect human physiology by reviewing current research in the field of cell biology. Biology of Addiction - Substance Use Disorder from a biological viewpoint, with aspects of psychological, epidemiological, social and economical factors.
