Samlet oversigt over tid og sted for alle kurser inden for Lektionsplan for Det Naturvidenskabelige Fakultet Efterår 2012 NAT |
| Formål: |
The main goal of the course is for the student to develop an understanding of how knowledge in molecular cell biology is obtained through experimental approaches; an aim particularly important and appropriate close to the point of the bachelor project. This objective is reached through discussion of selected aspects of molecular cell biology, many of which deal with the changes taking place in cancer cells. Through discussion of experiments and their results, by in-debt evaluation of primary data from publications, as well as de-novo interpretation of presented data, the student is expected to obtain the ability to demonstrate specific knowledge, to read, understand and follow the validity of conclusions from experimental data from primary scientific literature, and use this knowledge when planning and interpreting experiments.
|
| Indhold: |
A series of Group Discussions (no lectures) in which prepared material is treated and discussed, and three weeks of laboratory exercises where a range of experimental techniques is carried out and concepts taught. In the theoretical part of the course as well as in the experimental part, the main emphasis is on the parts of molecular cell biology that deals with gene expression, signaling, and regulation of cell growth, with examples referring to the molecular mechanisms and signaling in growth and cancer. The final evaluation focuses on understanding experimental detail and interpretation of experimental data rather than on recitation of facts.

| Lærebøger: |
Understanding scientific papers and experimental set-ups in general can occur on the basis of many different textbooks. The textbook to which the course-teaching will be referring is Lodish, H., Berk, A., Kaiser, CA., Krieger, M., Scott, MP., Bretscher, Ploegh & Matsudaira, P. Molecular Cell Biology 6th ed. 2007. WH Freeman and company. (ISBN-13 978-0-7167-7601-7).
Main materials: Group discussion material and notes, manuals, scientific papers and other distributed materials.
