Course Description:
This module examines the biology of the eukaryotic cell. The student is introduced to the complex internal organisation and evolution of the eukaryotic cell and looks at the properties of eukaryotes that have allowed the evolution and development of complex multicellular life. The module advances to look at the behaviour of cells within the context of multicellular organisms. The important roles of cell signalling and differential gene expression in the regulation of cell growth, cell fate, differentiation and the patterning of structures within multicellular organisms are introduced. During the module the importance of understanding key experiments that underpin our present knowledge will be emphasised. Supporting practical sessions and workshops will allow students to examine developing embryos, develop models based on experimental evidence and explore quantitative aspects of cell biology.
