What it covers
You will develop an advanced understanding of the components, formation, function, and relationships of the organelles and structural elements that make up eukaryotic cells; and will learn how organelle dysfunction can cause disease. You will be introduced to and will apply modern experimental techniques and strategies used to study cells and organelles. You will be guided and encouraged to view the eukaryotic cell as a dynamic, flexible, semi-independent entity in constant contact and communication with the extracellular environment and other cells.
