| Undervisnings- periode: |
Weeks 36-45 |
| Undervisnings- form: |
Monday through Thursday starts with two morning lectures (10-12 am) followed by class teaching in the afternoon. Class teaching includes discussions of the lectures of the day, description of research techniques and methods, problem solving and discussions of research data. Reviews and original papers from scientific journals accompany both lectures and class teaching. |
| Formål: |
The course aims to provide a detailed and comprehensive knowledge on cell biological topics, in particular membrane transport mechanisms and cellular signal transduction pathways. For a more detailed description of the course, please see "Expected Competencies". During the course, so-called "Hot News" lectures will be held that present the latest research within selected cell biological areas and their significance in human health and disease. "Hot News" lectures also outline potential Master’s projects at the Department. |
| Målbeskrivelse: |
In order to obtain the grade 12 (Top grade for excellency) the student must be able to:
Describe the structure, organization and function of macromolecules (DNA, RNA and proteins) in central cellular processes.
Describe the organization and function of the subcellular structures in animal and plant cells, including organelles, membrane systems and the cytoskeleton.
Describe the structure and development of cell tissues and their organization in plants and mammals.
Describe the mechanisms that regulate transport processes across cell membranes and explain the significance of these mechanisms in cell and tissue homeostasis.
Describe how cells interact and communicate with the extracellular environment to control gene expression and physiological activity.
Describe and catagorize signal transduction systems that control cell cycle entry, cell differentiation, cell motility and cell death in cell and tissue homeostasis.
Analyze, interpret and evaluate experimental data obtained from cell biological research
Integrate and apply cell biological processes taught during the course to describe and analyze important physiological and patophysiological conditions, including cancer.
Grading according to the Danish 7-step-scale system:
12 (excellent; equivalent to “A” in the ECTS-scale). The student has demonstrated a high level of command of all aspects with no or only a few minor weaknesses.
7 (good; equivalent to “C” in the ECTS-scale). The student has demonstrated a good command with some weaknesses.
02 (adequate; equivalent to “E” in the ECTS-scale). The student has demonstrated the minimum requirements for acceptance.
