This course is a basic undergraduate course on Industrial Organization (IO). IO is an Applied Microeconomics field that studies the structure and behavior of firms. Firms interact strategically with each other in the market, and these strategic interactions bring important implications on the market structure and welfare. We will focus our coverage on the market structure analysis, i.e. perfect competition, monopoly, and oligopolistic competition, and on the strategic behaviors of competing firms, i.e.

The aim of this course is to introduce you to the current research and methods used in the study of empirical questions in Industrial Organization. Answering these questions involves combining theory from microeconomics and tools from econometrics. Throughout this course you will have the opportunity to study real-world questions with real data using applied economics theory and methods. This course will cover a variety of topics, including: demand estimation, measuring market power, price discrimination, and production function analysis.

Infection 3 (IN3) aims to develop an understanding of the molecular and cellular basis of infectious diseases, the mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions, the role of infectious agents and the host in disease pathogenesis, the role of immune responses and therapeutics in controlling infection, and the epidemiology and evolution of pathogenic microbes. The course will be taught via weekly lectures and tutorial sessions, as well as laboratory practicals.

This course will give deeper understanding as to how inflammation can arise in response to processes including infection, tissue damage, and autoimmunity. You will evaluate the underlying inflammatory mechanisms in initiation, resolution and repair directed via immune responses in a variety of contexts.

This course gives a broad overview of several Institutional Economics theories and applies the insights thereof to real-life business cases. Both the comparative static approach and the dynamic approach will be discussed. The first one is about the question how actors optimally coordinate their business transactions under the influence of given institutions. The latter approach focuses much more on development processes and feedback mechanisms between institutions and actors. It also shows that actors sometimes try to influence institutions to achieve their goal.

<p>This is an "English for academic purpose" course. The major learning objective of this course is to teach students the English skills needed to achieve the learning objectives of their biomedical science/engineering courses at the ZJU-UoE/ZJU-UIUC Institutes, and the broader learning objectives of using English in university settings. Integrated Enligsh is specifically aimed at freshman students in the first semester of their undergraduate study.</p>

The overarching aim of Integrated Functions of Body Systems 2 (IFBS2) is to provide a sound understanding of physiology using different aspects of homeostasis to demonstrate how more than one body system is responsible for maintaining normal health. Rather than study each of the body systems in isolation, a body system will be introduced in the context of its role in the regulation and maintenance of an aspect of homeostasis. The reasoning for this approach is to demonstrate how the functions of different body systems are integrated.

The Integrative Biomedical Sciences is an one-semester course for students of Master's degree. The students participate in twice-weekly classes and workshops. The aim of the course is to provide an overall vision of current biomedical research. The topic varies from infectious diseases, oncology, immunology, neuroscience, stem cell biology and regenerative medicine, material sciences, etc.
