Prior knowledge

The equivalent of 7,5 credits Biochemistry.

Objectives

The aim of the course is to give basic knowledge and laboratory training in cell biology.

After completing the course the student will be able to:

• describe the cell structure, function and regulatory mechanisms

• describe key concepts in molecular cell biology

• know the main cell biology laboratory methods

• use basic laboratory techniques in cell biology

Content

The course gives basic knowledge in cell biology and laboratory training in cellbiological methods.

Lectures and group excerises address:

• cells and their components

• biological membranes

• transport across membranes

• extracellular environment

• cell proliferation

• cell differentiation and tissue formation

• cell communication

• stem cells and cloning

Laborations deal with key cell biological methods.

Grading form

The grade requirements within the course grading system are set out in specific criteria. These criteria must be available by the course start at the latest.

Formats and requirements for examination

Passed written exams. Attendance of obligatory activities and approved presentation of compulsory elements, including laboratory reports.

The compulsory moments consists of introduction lecture, laboratory work with following discussions and group exercises.

• If a student has failed an examination, the examiner has the right to issue supplementary assignments. This applies if it is possible and there are grounds to do so.

• The examiner can provide an adapted assessment to students entitled to study support for students with disabilities following a decision by the university. Examiners may also issue an adapted examination or provide an alternative way for the students to take the exam.

• If this syllabus is withdrawn, SLU may introduce transitional provisions for examining students admitted based on this syllabus and who have not yet passed the course.
