|
| Number of credits : |
|
|
| Lecturer : | Collégialité, Vincent Seutin |

|
| English language |
|
Organisation and examination :
|
| Teaching in the first semester, review in January |
|
Course contents :
|
| The course is dedicated to remind basic notions in normal cell biology and physiology.
The course is divided into 6 classes. The content of each class covers one particular aspect of cell biology and physiology.
The organisation of the course follows the current paradigm of cell biology, and reviews the mechanisms of transcription, translation, post-translational modifications, intracellular signaling (including downstream cascade from cell surface receptors) and cell polarization.
Each class is given by a specific teacher according to his/her area of expertise.
|
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| At the end of this course, students should be able to understand and manage the main concepts of normal cell biology and physiology, including transcription, translation, post-translational modifications, intracellular signaling (including downstream cascade from cell surface receptors) and cell polarization.
These notions are a prerequisite for the other courses of the present Master, which focus on the consequences of dysfunctional cell biology and physiology. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| This course is dedicated to medical and biomedical students with a strong background in normal cell biology and physiology. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| This course is mainly given ex cathedra, with additional references to renowned book chapters and reviews.
Journal-club sessions are organized at the end of the course, and implicate the active participation of the students. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Face-to-face: this course is mainly given ex cathedra.
Distance-learning: the students are encouraged to read additional book chapters and reviews and to prepare in advance journal club sessions. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Book chapters and up-to-date reviews are provided by each teacher at the beginning of each class. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| The evaluation of this course is based on an oral presentation about one specific topic of the course choosen by the student (among a pre-established list of topics).
The criteria of evaluation include :
- Proactivity during lectures (20 %)
- Oral presentation (15') (50 %)
- Adequacy of coverage, knowledge and understanding
- Quality of the English (oral mostly + written (slides))
- Ability to convey a message, to communicate
- Answers to questions (15') (30 %)
- Understanding and quality of discussion
