Learning outcomes
Knowledge

The student who completes the course successfully will be able to demonstrate advanced knowledge of the main issues related to cell biology. He or she will acquire knowledge of the fundamental biological function of the eukaryotic cell. Lastly, he or she will be aware of modern approaches for the study on the molecular mechanisms that regulate cell cycle, cell senescence and programmed cell death as well as on the alterations of these functions.

Assessment criteria of knowledge

Syllabus

The main objective of the course will be to study fundamental biological function of the eukaryotic cell. The course will be focused on the molecular mechanisms that regulate cell cycle, cell senescence and programmed cell death as well as on the alterations of these functions leading to cancer. Aspects of extracellular matrix structure and function and of cell adhesion and migration will be also approached
