Students will study advanced topics in cell biology through a series of 30 lectures. Material covered will include techniques used to study cell biology, the cytoskeleton and intracellular trafficking. The migration of cells and their interactions with the extracellular matrix will also be covered. The unit is be assessed by a single 3 hour examination paper.
The unit aims to develop an understanding of key concepts in current cell biology including:
Lectures.
The unit will be assessed through one 3 hour examination in January. Students will be given a choice of essay titles and will be expected to answer 3 questions.
Reviews and primary articles from the current scientific literature.
