The Unit consists of 20 lectures that cover a variety of topics within the general area of intracellular dynamics and cell motility. The Unit begins with a series of lectures that introduce the general area of research and a variety of relevant experimental techniques. These are followed by lectures that explore the movement of proteins and organelles within cells and the movement of cells themselves.
By the end of the Unit the students should be able to describe a variety of relevant experimental techniques and their applications in the general areas of intracellular dynamics and cell motility. The students should also be able to demonstrate understanding of a variety of specialist topics related to intracellular dynamics and cell motility.
