Students will study advanced topics in cell biology. 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 aims to develop an understanding of key concepts in current cell biology including:
Asynchronous lectures and synchronous discussion sessions.
Assessment for learning (formative)
Students will undertake a mock assessment exercise.:
Assessment of learning (summative)
The unit will be assessed as follows:
Reviews and primary articles from the current scientific literature.
