- Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
- fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- there are 10 fields of study the course is directly associated with, display
- Course objectives
- Main objectives of the course are: - to learn about basic methods and models used in the animal developmental biology - to learn about molecular and cellular mechanisms regulating animal development - to discuss practical aspects associated with the studies of development
- Learning outcomes
- Student passing this course will be able to understand and explain the molecular and cellular mechanisms controlling the embryonal development of animals. Student will be further able to understand the topic in depth (approaches, methods) sufficient for an independent review of the primary literature.
