Goals It aims to enable students from different disciplines to examine the fundamentals of molecular biology, the structure and life cycle of the cell, the functions of organisms in this process, and genetic events (such as transcription, translation, damage repair).
Course Content The structure of the cell membrane, biophysical characterisation, organelles and their functions in the cell cycle, gene expression and mechanisms regulating gene expression, protein expression, DNA damage repair mechanisms will be discussed.
Learning Outcomes 1) Introduction to the cell: learn the basic definition of the cell
2) Basic genetic mechanisms: Learns the concepts of DNA, chromosome, genome
3) Basic genetic mechanisms in the cell cycle: DNA replication, protein expression, damage repair mechanisms, recombination mechanisms
