The goal | Acquainting students with the principles and mechanisms of functioning cells at the molecular level; to gain knowledge in the field of cell biology necessary for research in modern biomedicine | |||
The outcome | To provide students with knowledge relating to: - the structure and function of cells at the molecular level - the interaction between organelles and transport mechanisms within the cell - communication mechanisms between cells of eukaryotic organisms - the molecular basis of development and cell differentiation –molecular basis of carcinogenesis - the methods and techniques of molecular biology cell | |||
