| Course Objectives: | The main objective of the course is to understand cell as the `fundamental unit of life` and therefore cell biology forms the base upon which all modern biology and medicine is built on. The course will emphasize the study of eukaryotic cell structure and function, including membrane transport, cellular communication, flow of genetic information, cell division and immune responses. Experimental techniques used in understanding cell biology will be discussed throughout the course. |
