Course Learning Outcomes: Upon the successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
| No | Learning Outcomes |
|
1
| Describe the advanced knowledge about cell biology, structure and function of cellular compartments |
|
2
| Critically analyze the scientific evidence underlying our current understanding of cellular processes |
|
3
| Elaborate the principles of intracellular signaling including the individual components of intracellular signaling pathways from receptor-ligand interactions to modulators to second messengers to effectors as well as signaling events associated with cell cycle, cell growth (cancer), cell senescence and cell death (apoptosis) |
|
4
| Discuss how the dysregulation of cellular processes may lead to some diseases |
