Think you have what it takes to live on Mars? Dr. Nathan Jones thought he did. Late one night, the Springfield emergency medicine physician clicked a link on his computer and fell down a rabbit hole that led to a year-long simulation experiment with NASA. Join us as he shares stories about an out-of-this-world endurance test.

This symposium will address the recognition and management of common neurological problems for primary care providers and other non-neurologists. Participants will also learn how to conduct a neurological examination, determine the appropriate investigations to order and the significance of abnormal findings, and identify the need for referral to a neurologist. LEARNING OBJECTIVES At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to: • Demonstrate the technique of neurological examination. • List strategies to diagnose and manage common neurological conditions including headache

Medicinal Chemistry is a discipline on the Edwardsville campus that encompasses organic chemistry and computational chemistry (molecular modeling) in order to design compounds with therapeutic potential. Students become experts in carrying out synthetic schemes and gaining a deeper understanding of biochemical pathways pertaining to their research project. Computational chemistry sits at the intersection of chemistry, biology and computer science. It aims to rationally design new chemical structures as potential medicines by visualizing how they bind the receptors or as improvements of

Biochemistry & Molecular Biology research strives to uncover fundamental biochemical and molecular mechanisms of cellular processes and disease. The Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Concentration offers MS and PhD degrees on the Carbondale campus. Students with graduate degrees in biochemistry and molecular biology are in demand in many occupational areas. Many of our graduates are employed by pharmaceutical or biotechnology firms. Several PhD graduates continue to advanced academic training as postdoctoral fellows or can expect to be employed by pharmaceutical, chemical biochemical or

Science has increasingly become interdisciplinary and thus training that promotes knowledge across fields will prepare students for a successful future. All MBBS graduate students in the thesis MS and PhD degree pathways will begin their training by taking the following core courses. MBBS 500: Introduction to Scientific Communication MBBS 501: Advanced Scientific Communication MBBS 504: Fundamentals of Graduate Research MBBS 540: Responsible Conduct of Research While some Concentrations have required courses that are specific to their discipline (see below), the remaining credit hours can be
