Theoretical or experimental study or research in graduate areas in mechanical engineering and engineering science.
Points of credit to be approved by the department. Requires submission of an outline of the proposed research for approval by the faculty member who is to supervise the work of the student. The research facilities of the department are available to qualified students interested in advanced study.
Open only to graduate students in the basic medical science departments. Prerequisite: course directors permission. Current research in pathology and pathobiology. Conferences and invited speakers. Assigned readings.
Prerequisites: high-quality work in the previous term. Arrangements must be made with the director of graduate studies. Tutorial work in specialized research topics.
Course Goals and Objectives
The aim of this course is to critically review recently published research articles from scientific journals in emerging areas of nutritional biochemistry and biology through presentations and class discussion. Students will learn about the molecular and biological mechanisms that control nutrient metabolism and functions at cell, tissue and whole-body levels. This course will also help students gain knowledge on current methodology employed in advanced nutritional biochemistry research.
Students working in groups will be required to organize and present data from selected research articles that focus on the weekly subject, as well as to generate hypothesis, potential mechanisms, and alternative approaches to experiments described in the article. Students will create and deliver one seminar-like style presentation for this course.
Literature for every class will be selected by the instructor. Student groups and presentation dates will be assigned at the beginning of the course.
Course objectives:
To acquaint students with current concepts and methods in nutritional biochemistry research.
To learn about novel molecular and cellular mechanisms of nutritional and metabolic regulation.
To identify the mechanistic connections of critical biological and biochemical pathways as they relate to physiological functions and pathological alterations in cells, tissues and whole body.
To gain experience in creating and delivering a scientific presentation.
Prerequisites: high-quality work in the previous term. Arrangements must be made with the director of graduate studies. Tutorial work in specialized research topics.

Students are required to carry out independent research under the direction of a faculty member of the Doctoral Subcommittee on Nutrition.
Students are required to register a total of 3-points.
Starting with the Class of 2023, students have six registration options for “Field Study for MPA-DP” (PUAF U9015), with some restrictions for international students seeking CPT:
3 units in the Spring 2023 semester*
1.5 units in the Spring 2023 semester and 1.5 units in the Fall 2023 semester*
3 units in the Fall 2023 semester
3 units in the Spring 2024 semester
1.5 units in the Fall 2023 semester and 1.5 units in the Spring 2024 semester
1.5 units in the Spring 2023 semester and 1.5 units in the Spring 2024 semester
*For international students on F-1 visa who conduct their summer placement in the United States and secure CPT, the
ONLY
available options for registration are noted with an asterisk, to ensure compliance with CPT policies and regulations. (All six registration options for U9015 are available to J-1 students using AT).

Columbia faculty and guest speakers present research related to Labor and Public Economics.
HRSMA students may receive one academic credit for the completion of a relevant internship. The credit would count towards the elective requirement for the degree. In order to receive one credit, students will be required to complete a total of 100 internship hours. The internship must be professional in nature and substantively focused on human rights or social justice. For more information, students should refer to the HRSMA Digital Handbook.
Prerequisites: the director of graduate studies permission if taking more than 3 points of study with any one faculty member. Individual writing on a topic agreed upon by the supervising faculty member.
