Course content

Living cells contain a large number of different structures and organelles enabling them to survive and adapt in a changing environment. In parallel these structures and organelles enable them to perform specific functions within a multicellular body.

The aims of the course are:

  • Provide an overview of the organelles and structures found in animal and plant cells.
  • Introduce the underlying cell-biological mechanisms and processes enabling cells to perform their functions.
  • Highlight organizational and functional differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
  • Provide hands on training in routinely used molecular and/or cell biological methodologies.

Learning outcome

After completing the course the student will have acquired:

  • Advanced theoretical knowledge regarding eukaryotic organelles, structures and mechanisms enabling cell biological processes.
  • Advanced competencies in standard molecular and cell biological methodologies, experimental design and critical reading of scientific literature.
  • Advanced expertise regarding data analysis, scientific report writing and presentation of research data.
