Introduction to cellular and molecular biology: the chemical properties of life, basic cell structure and function, metabolism, DNA and DNA replication, gene expression and regulation.

Introduction to macromolecules and to key topics of cellular and molecular biology; the emphasis will be on DNA replication, gene transcription, small RNA mediated gene regulation, RNA processing, proteins translation, protein trafficking, mutagenesis, cell division and apoptosis.

Principles of biochemistry; molecular and cell biology. General introduction to cell structure and function. Genetics, bioenergetics, anatomy and physiology; introduction to biotechnology.

Cellular electrophysiology and membrane potential, electro-physical characteristics of the nervous systems, animal physiology and cell physiology, sensory and motor mechanisms, animal organ systems, digestive and endocrine systems, transport and excretory system, animal reproductive systems, immune system and defense mechanisms against infection.

Protein characterization, enzyme kinetics, basic metabolic pathways, membrane structure and function, biochemistry of energy and signal transduction, replication and expressions of genes.

General topics in genetics, including phage and bacterial genetics, the molecular mechanisms of meiosis, complementation tests, recombination frequency and linkage, and sex determination. This course will also explore genetic approaches to characterizing proteins and pathways.

The key areas of RNA biology, structure and function; splicing, polyadenylation, transport, translation and decay of mRNAs; the regulatory mechanisms governed by noncoding RNAs such as siRNAs, miRNAs and long noncoding RNAs.

Cells have elaborate mechanisms for controlling cell proliferation and differentiation. In this course, we will explore in molecular detail the intricate signaling pathways that are important for cell behavior, with a major focus on those pathways that are conserved widely among many species.

The journey of a fertilized egg to turn into a fully developed adult, the molecular mechanisms that regulate the animal development in two vertebrate (mouse, fish) and two invertebrate (fly, worm) models; body plan formation, organogenesis, morphogenesis, regeneration and ageing.

Stem cell biology at the intersection of developmental/cell biology and medicine; overview of stem cell biology in the context of embryonic development, tissue maintenance and cancer. Embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells, reprogramming and differentiation, stem cells in adult tissues and cancer, therapeutic applications of stem cells. Advanced molecular and cellular techniques to study, generate and manipulate stem cells.

The key concepts and techniques related to the molecular and cellular basis of microbial pathogenesis including the exploitation of mammalian host cells by medically relevant prokaryotic and eukaryotic pathogens, molecular mechanisms of infectious diseases, immune response to infections, the role of pathogenic and host factors in disease and emerging techniques to study the basis of microbial pathogenesis and disease.

The advanced methodology used for modern biological science research. Topics include the interpretation of data gained from both hypothesis-driven and high-throughput experiments from research articles focusing on DNA repair, DNA replication, transcription, cell cycle, organelle biogenesis, proteomics and genetics.
