Cell- and molecular biology
About
About the course
Course content
The subject covers basic cell and molecular biology and includes cell signalling and intracellular transport, cell cycle control, and gene regulation, DNA damage and repair, gene structure and function, the cytoskeleton, sexual reproduction and genetics, cell communities, stem cells, cell differentiation and cancer development.
Learning outcome
The student should;
- be able to explain the relationship between genes and proteins
- be able to explain how genes are regulated and repaired
- be able to explain basic functions and mechanisms related to the cytoskeleton, transport, signal transduction/communication in and between cells
- know of stemcells and their use
- be able to explain fundamental principles of cancer development
- know basic methods in molecular biology to study the structure and function of genes
- be able to communicate cell- and molecular biology to different target groups
- be able to use their understanding of cellular processes towards other courses in their studies
