(Teaching unit shared with the ICM curriculum, Biomedical engineering major.)
The unit aims to provide students with basic knowledge of cellular biology, through a series of lectures, supervised studies (understanding and analysing scientific articles) practical work (dissection) and conferences by hospital practitioners.
| On completion of the unit, the student will be capable of: | Classification level | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Having basic knowledge of cellular biology | 2. Understand | Essential |
| Analysing a scientific article in the field of biology | 4. Analyse | Essential |

| Course | In order to acquire basic knowledge of cellular biology, the student initially will study different aspects related to cellular life (genetics, the cell life-cycle, cell adhesion, cell communication, intracellular signalling, membrane transport, cell death …). The student will also have the opportunity of looking at the different techniques of studying cells, proteins and nuclear acids. |
| Supervised studies | Students will be presented with methods of analysing scientific articles in the biomedical field. They will then apply the method to study an article. |
