Course objectives
After completion of the course student: understands elementary cellular processes and processes taking place during development of a human body; comprehends the complexity of intercellular communication and mutual regulation of individual cells in a multicellular organism; is able to deduce and explain the difference between healthy and pathologically-working cell; is able to express basic coherence between malfunction in cellular processes and development of diseases, especially hereditary diseases, cancers or developmental defects; can explain and justify action of some therapeutics with emphasis on modern medicine. Student is also able to apply this knowledge and skills in other subject, especially physiology, pathophysiology and human genetics.
