Course name: Nucleic acids and RNA biomedicine
Description: This course provides an overview of current topics in RNA biology including: Introduction to Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), and central dogma. Introduction to RNA Biology and RNA world. RNA as enzymes: The Ribozymes. RNA-protein interactions and RNA structure-functions. Regulation of RNA translation in health and disease. RNA as a detection tool in human diseases. RNA as a therapeutic target. Viruses and mRNA vaccines against viral diseases. mRNA vaccines in cancer.
BT6010 [MTech and PhD, Theory, 2 Credits]
Course name: Critical analysis and presentation of biological literatures
Description: This course is designed to enhance critical thinking and communication skills of students – majorly focusing on design, organisation, and oral presentation of scientific literatures. Students will learn how to give and receive critical feedbacks both on their science and communication skills from the course instructors, available faculty, and their peers. Further, the students will learn how to defend their presentation with appropriate scientific temper and incorporate insights from their peers to improve their presentation.
Co-instructor: Dr. Gaurav Sharma
BT6070 [MTech and PhD, Theory, 2 Credits]
Course name: Molecular mechanisms of aging and age-related disorders
Description: This course aims to provide a basic understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying aging process. Students will learn about hallmarks of aging, and how cellular processes such as: transcription, translation, posttranslational modifications, signalling pathways etc changes during normal aging and in case of age-related diseases. Further, students will learn about modern advances in therapeutic approaches to manipulate normal aging process, ensure healthy-aging and counter age-related diseases.
