This course will cover the fundamental concepts and biochemical mechanisms that contribute to the functional organization of eukaryotic cells as well as key experimental approaches in cell and molecular biology. The students are also expected to present how the major discoveries in cell biology were made and critically evaluate recent literature on cell biology.

Outcome 1: Students will formulate the fundamental concepts and biochemical mechanisms that contribute to the functional organization of eukaryotic cells. Students will be able to implement these principles to identify and address contemporary issues.

Outcome 2: Students will be able to describe the basic principles of key experimental approaches in cell and molecular biology and use them to address cell biological problems.

Outcome 3: Students will be able to implement cell biological concepts to interpret and discuss experimental data and conclusions from recent literature. Students will appraise the importance of rigor and reproducibility in cell biology research.

Outcome 4: Students will appraise the importance of rigor and reproducibility in cell biology research.
