Cell Biology (5 cr)

Objective

Learning outcomes
As a student you can explain the structure and functioning of the key biomolecules in cell biology as well as protein synthesis. You can explain the various types of cell adhesion and intercellular communication and understand the cell cycle. You can describe how a normal cell develops into a cancer cell. You understand human genetics and the changes that occur in it and are familiar with genetic cloning methods.
