Learning Outcomes:
After successful completion of this module, the student will be able to
• List the basic components of the cell and how they contribute to function
• Explain vital cellular functions such as self-replication, migration, differentiation, endo-and exocytosis, and cell death.
• Discuss the intracellular processes that control these functions, including the control of gene-regulation, cell-signalling and metabolism.
• Distinguish different feedback loops and qualitatively predict their possible dynamic behaviours
• Give examples of how disruptions of these normal functions can cause disease.
• Appraise biological experiments
• Interpret various types of biological data, including molecular (genomics, proteomics, metabolomics) data, biochemical data and basic cell biological measurements.
• Infer knowledge from biomedical literature.
