About the course
Aim
The course should provide a possibility for the student to acquire knowledge in biochemistry and cell biology from an engineering perspective. After passing the course the student should be able to:
- describe the structure and function of the eukaryotic cell.
- describe the interaction and communication between cells and their environment.
- give examples of how cells are affected by contact with foreign non-biological material.
- summarize and explain how cells are able to regulate their gene expression and thereby their functions.
- explain how damaged and sick cells are taken care of by other cells.
- describe and apply the most common techniques used to study and seek information about cell function.
Content
The cell building blocks, metabolism, forming new products, gene expression, cell-division, systems for repairing cells, cell death and its impact on surrounding tissue, cell motility and adhesion, interaction between cells and foreign material. The topic of cell signalling how it relates to cell functions will be in focus in the course.
