Course objectives
At the end of the course the students will get an overview of molecular mechanisms in early and late embryonic development, of the most common experimental models and methods and also of biomedical application of the recent knowledge. Education alignment is drawn in the frame of other disciplines, thus contributing to a superior knowledge network for further education and experience in the field of molecular biology.

Teaching methods
Teaching is based on lectures. Some of them will be held in the seminar format and also directly in the laboratory of molecular embryology with demonstrations and possibility of hands-on experience.
Assessment methods
Written test will be used to evaluate the knowledge obtained in this course. At least 50% of correct answers to 30 test questions are required to pass the exam.
