Advances in Molecular Genetics and Cellular Signaling
This course provides an in-depth exploration of gene expression, regulation, and cellular communication, focusing on advanced molecular genetics. Students will examine bacterial and eukaryotic gene regulation mechanisms, such as the operon model and histone modifications. The course also covers key signaling pathways, including GPCR and RTK, which are critical for understanding cellular responses.
Hands-on experience with molecular biology techniques like DNA extraction, electrophoresis, and PCR is a significant component, equipping students with practical skills for research and clinical applications.
