Undergraduate and Graduate Courses

IISBR faculty offer undergraduate and graduate courses to UCI students. Please check the UCI schedule of classes for offerings of:

PSCI 142H- Introduction to Interdisciplinary Salivary Bioscience (4 Units)

Introduction to the integration of salivary analytes into developmental, social, behavioral, and health sciences. Lectures cover theoretical perspectives; oral fluid as a biological specimen; saliva collection and study design; basics of salivary assay methods; and research findings across multiple fields.

PSCI P280A – Interdisciplinary Salivary Bioscience (4 Units)

Theory and research on the integration of salivary analytes into developmental, social, behavioral, and health sciences. Topics include oral fluid as biological specimens; practical aspects of sample handing, collection, and study design; basics of laboratory methods used for assaying saliva.

PSCI P280B – Interdisciplinary Salivary Bioscience Lab (4 Units)

Laboratory sequel to the P280A seminar. Provides laboratory-based hands-on experience integrating salivary analytes into developmental, social, behavioral, and health sciences that also includes supervised training on sample processing.

Prerequisite or corequisite: PCSI P280A. PCSI P280A with a grade of B or better

PSCI P282- Salivary Bioscience Data Analysis (4 Units)

A salivary bioscience statistical research working group. Students conduct guided data analyses with salivary biomarker data. Special topics related to salivary bioscience analytic strategies and the interpretation and dissemination of research findings are discussed.
