Course content

Intracellular transport, the cytoskeleton, gene regulation, cell signalling, cell-cycle control and cell death, damage of DNA and DNA repair, mutations, cancer development at the molecular level, methods in molecular biology, cell cultivation.

Learning outcome

The student

  • have knowledge in cell biology and molecular biology as a basis for the profession-specific laboratory subject
  • have some knowledge of how cells are analyzed and examined as part of the diagnosis and treatment of disease
  • can explain the use of methods in molecular biology and the principles and execution of the methods
  • can explain different transport mechanisms intracellularly
  • can describe the structure of the cytoskeleton and function of the various components
  • can explain how nerve signals propagate and affect the target cell
  • can explain how genes are regulated
  • can explain how mutations occur
  • can explain different mechanisms of DNA repair
  • can explain some mechanisms of cell signaling
  • can describe the cell-division cycle and understand and explain cell-cycle control
  • can explain mechanisms of apoptosis
  • can explain the molecular mechanisms of cancer development
  • can cultivate cells

Learning methods and activities

Lectures and practical studies in the form of laboratory courses. Total workload for each student will be 200 hours. There will be about 60 scheduled hours with lectures and laboratory courses.

Compulsory assignments

  • Mandatory assignments

Further on evaluation

The laboratory course with written submission and oral presentation must be approved before the exam.

New/postponed exam: August. New/postponed exam can be changed to oral exam. Assessment report requires approved teaching report the same semester. Compulsory activity from previous semesters can be approved by the department.

For applications for credits, approval and integration of courses from previous years or other institutions' equivalent education, each application will be evaluated individually. A reduction of credits (studiepoengsreduksjon) might apply if the candidate has passed exams in overlapping courses.

Specific conditions

Admission to a programme of study is required:
Biomedical Laboratory Science (BBIOING)

Required previous knowledge

The course is restricted and reserved for students at the Bachelor of Biomedical Laboratory Sciences (BBIOING), NTNU, Trondheim. Examination in HBIOT1010: "Medical Laboratory Technology, introduction to medical laboratory sciences", must be passed in order to start with this topic.

Course materials

Recommended reading: Alberts, B. et al.: Essential Cell Biology. Garland Science. Last edition. Any adjustments in recommended literature will be published on Blackboard before the start of the semester.
