Department / Program	MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND GENETICS
Type of Program	Formal Education
Type of Course Unit	Compulsory
Course Delivery Method	Face To Face
Objectives of the Course	O1. describing on the basic understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying cellular processes O2. accomplishing the structure, function and specializations of the cell through a combination of lecture and laboratory sessions providing both theory and application
Course Content	This course will focus on the cellular biology of higher organisms. Knowledge of the structure, function, and formation of cellular membranes and organelles, in addition to cellular growth and oncogenic transformation will be covered throughout the course. Also, this course will cover transport, receptors, and cell signaling; the cytoskeleton, the extracellular matrix, and cell movements; chromatin structure and RNA synthesis. The course focuses on the interaction of the cell and its social context that includes its neighboring cells, the extracellular matrix and the soluble mediators.
