We will discuss how new drugs are tested and developed prior to them being used for patient care. We will describe how personalization of medicine will become a common day reality in patient care.
Game Theory
Matthew O. Jackson, Professor
Yoav Shoham, Professor
The course will provide the basics: representing games and strategies, the extensive form (which computer scientists call game trees), Bayesian games (modeling things like auctions), repeated and stochastic games, and more.
Health Informatics in the Cloud
Mark Braunstein
A non-technical introduction to the contemporary application of computing to healthcare delivery, public health and community-based clinical research.
Health Policy and the Affordable Care Act
Ezekiel Emanuel, MD, PhD
This course will explore the many problems of the American health care system and discuss the specific ways that the Affordable Care Act will impact access, quality, costs, as well as medical innovation.
Healthcare Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Bob Barnes, Marilyn M. Lombardi
This interdisciplinary course focuses on sustainable innovation, introducing entrepreneurial students to the realities of problem identification and solution design within the complex world of healthcare.
How Things Work 1

Organic chemistry course covering intermediate topics in structure and reactivity with special applications to the life sciences.
Introduction to Genome Science
John Hogenesch, John Isaac Murray
Each of our cells contains nearly identical copies of our genome, which provides instructions that allow us to develop and function. This course serves as an introduction to the main laboratory and theoretical aspects of genomics and is divided into themes: genomes, genetics, functional genomics, systems biology, single cell approaches, proteomics, and applications.
Introduction à la Programmation Objet (in French)
Enseignant: Sera communiqué ultérieurement
Ce cours introduit la programmation orientée objet en utilisant le langage Java. Le cours donne également une introduction aux notions de base de l'algorithmique. Il ne présuppose pas de connaissance préalable.
Introductory Organic Chemistry - Part 1
Jeffrey S. Moore
Organic chemistry course surveying introductory topics in structure and reactivity with an emphasis on structural fundamentals including electronic structure, conformation and stereochemistry.
Introductory Organic Chemistry - Part 2
Jeffrey S. Moore
Organic chemistry course surveying introductory topics in structure and reactivity with an emphasis on elementary reaction mechanisms.
Know Thyself
Mitchell Green
An investigation of the nature and limits of self-knowledge from the viewpoints of philosophy, psychoanalysis, experimental psychology, neuroscience, aesthetics, and Buddhism. Readings are drawn from classical Western, non-Western, and contemporary sources.
Learn to Program: Crafting Quality Code
Jennifer Campbell, Paul Gries
Not all programs are created equal. In this course, we'll focus on writing quality code that runs correctly and efficiently. We'll design, code and validate our programs and learn how to compare programs that are addressing the same task.
Listening to World Music
Carol Muller
Learn the ideas and vocabulary for listening to world music, and examine the music of several world music cultures and how they have entered into mainstream popular culture.
Machine Learning
Pedro Domingos
Why write programs when the computer can instead learn them from data? In this class you will learn how to make this happen, from the simplest machine learning algorithms to quite sophisticated ones. Enjoy!
Microeconomics Principles
Jose J. Vazquez-Cognet
Introduction to the functions of individual decision-makers, both consumers and producers, within the larger economic system. Primary emphasis on the nature and functions of product markets, the theory of the firm under varying conditions of competition and monopoly, and the role of government in promoting efficiency in the economy.
Nanotechnology: The Basics
Vicki Colvin, Daniel Mittleman
Nanotechnology is an emerging area that engages almost every technical discipline – from chemistry to computer science – in the study and application of extremely tiny materials. This short course allows any technically savvy person to go one layer beyond the surface of this broad topic to see the real substance behind the very small.
Natural Language Processing
Dan Jurafsky, Professor. Christopher Manning, Associate Professor
In this class, you will learn fundamental algorithms and mathematical models for processing natural language, and how these can be used to solve practical problems.
Planet Earth
Stephen Marshak
Planet Earth, an overview of geology, discusses how earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain building, floods, ice ages, evolution, climate, and plate tectonics have interacted over deep time to produce a our dynamic island in space, and its unique landscapes.
Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Computation
Umesh Vazirani
This is an introduction to quantum computation, a cutting edge field that tries to exploit the exponential power of computers based on quantum mechanics. The course does not assume any prior background in quantum mechanics, and can be viewed as a very simple and conceptual introduction to that field.
Rationing and Allocating Scarce Medical Resources
Ezekiel J. Emanuel, M.D., Ph.D.
This course will explore the complex challenges of allocating scare medical resources at both the micro and macro level. Students will learn the theories behind allocation and use modern examples to explore how society makes the difficult decisions that arise when there is not enough to go around.
The Modern World: Global History since 1760
Philip Zelikow
This is a survey of modern world history, from a global perspective, beginning with the economic and political revolutions of the late 18th century and ending with contemporary conditions.
VLSI CAD: Logic to Layout
Rob A. Rutenbar
A modern VLSI chip has a zillion parts -- logic, control, memory, interconnect, etc. How do we design these complex chips? Answer: CAD software tools. Learn how to build these tools in this class.
