Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for
participation in the module
The module builds on knowledge gained in Microbiology, Biochemistry
Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
The aim is to give the student a thorough insight in
- Eukaryotic cell biology and genetics and an overview of
immunology
- Eukaryotic cell compartments, organelles, membranes and
transport mechanisms
- Cytoskeleton, cell-cycle, and cell-division, mitosis and
meiosis
- Signal transduction
- Mendel’s laws
- Chromosomes and heredity
- Genotype, phenotype, and their correlation
- Genetic variability and diseases
- The composition and function of the immune system
- The role of the immune system in preventing and fighting, but
also in causing disease
- Cell biologic, genetic, and immunologic methods
