3 Credit Core Course for Masters with practicals

The Advanced Cell Biology course offers an in-depth exploration of cellular structures and functions, covering critical topics such as membrane organization, intracellular transport mechanisms, and the roles of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. Students study protein folding, cytoskeletal components, and bioenergetics involving mitochondria and chloroplasts. The syllabus also includes cell signaling, the eukaryotic cell cycle, and various forms of cell death, alongside interactions between cells and their environment. The practical component allows students to visualize cellular organelles using fluorescent labeling, plasmid DNA transfection, analyze cell cycle progression through FACS, conduct tissue histology studies through H&E staining and so on. 

3 Credit Core Course for Masters with practicals

This course delves into the fundamental mechanisms of life at the cellular level, exploring how DNA, RNA, and proteins work together to govern cell function. You'll explore gene expression, protein synthesis, cell signaling, and genetic principles.  The course combines lectures with hands-on laboratory sessions, allowing you to apply your theoretical knowledge to real-world experiments. 

Through practical exercises, you'll gain experience with key techniques like DNA isolation, PCR, gel electrophoresis, protein analysis, and cell culture.  This course provides a strong foundation in molecular cell biology and genetics, equipping you with the knowledge and skills needed for future research and careers in the field.

3-Credit Advanced Course

This course covers the basics of cancer biology, cellular and signaling pathways involved in cancer progression, cancer invasion and metastasis, tumour heterogeneity, cancer diagnostics and therapy with a special focus on current advances in this rapidly evolving field of tools to study cancer biology and alternative therapies.

4-Credit Basic Course

This course includes the fundamental concepts of Evolution, Immunology, Infection Biology, Cancer Biology and so on. This course has both theory and lab component. The latter would include hands-on-training on various biological tools such as PCR, microscopy etc.
