Learning Outcomes
Students will gain an appreciation of the rich history of cell biological research.
Cell biology is a very dynamic subject, and students will gain an appreciation of the broad range of relevant 'state of the art' techniques, along with a clear idea of how they are used.
The course will also point out the wide range of model organisms employed in modern cell biology. It will be pointed out that different systems have distinct advantages, and that the choice of system employed will depend on the question(s) being asked.
The roles of complex protein assemblies (machines) will become apparent, along with an appreciation of how they are regulated and integrated at different levels within biological systems.
Through 'research-based' sessions we aim to communicate some of the excitement and pace of advances being made in cell biology today
