Course objectives
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the principles of regulation of various cellular processes in the context of individual cells as well as overall tissues and organisms. Using examples of crucial signaling pathways, the course will demonstrate the principles of signal transduction and its effects. In individual lectures, students will learn about the mechanisms and importance of regulating cell polarity, migration, embryonic development, wound healing, and other physiological and pathological processes.
Learning outcomes
Graduates of the course will become familiar with the principles of regulation of various cellular processes in the context of individual cells as well as overall tissues and organisms. Through examples of crucial signaling pathways, they will understand the principles of signal transduction and its effects. In individual lectures, students will acquire knowledge about the mechanisms and importance of regulating cell polarity, migration, embryonic development, wound healing, and other physiological and pathological processes.
