Recommended or required readings :
Lodish, Berk, Matsudaira, Kaiser, Krieger, Scott, Zipursky, Darnell Molecular Cell Biology 5th Edition W.H. Freeman and CO; New York ISBN: 0-7167-4366-3
Assessment methods and criteria :
Oral examination: testing knowledge, comprehension and integration of different parts of the curse. The evaluation may include a personal project performed by the student. The subject will be proposed by the student or chosen among a list of suggestions. This project will aim at integrating in a transversal way the lessons learned in several lectures of the "Physiologie-Developmental Biology" and contribute to a common evaluation. The notes obtained for the presentation of this project will represent one third of the total figure.
