Course content
Living cells contain a large number of different structures and organelles enabling them to survive and adapt in a changing environment. In parallel these structures and organelles enable them to perform specific functions within a multicellular body.
The aims of the course are:
- Provide an overview of the organelles and structures found in animal and plant cells.
- Introduce the underlying cell-biological mechanisms and processes enabling cells to perform their functions.
- Highlight organizational and functional differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
- Provide hands on training in routinely used molecular and/or cell biological methodologies.
Learning outcome
After completing the course the student will have acquired:
- Advanced theoretical knowledge regarding eukaryotic organelles, structures and mechanisms enabling cell biological processes.
- Advanced competencies in standard molecular and cell biological methodologies, experimental design and critical reading of scientific literature.
- Advanced expertise regarding data analysis, scientific report writing and presentation of research data.
Learning methods and activities
