BC3102 - Advanced Cell Biology

Credit points:	03
Year:	2006
Student Contribution Band:	Band 2
Administered by:

This subject builds on the principles and concepts introduced in BC2013 and BC2024 and focuses on how eukaryotic cells are regulated. Topics covered include signal transduction, protein sorting and translocation, the cytoskeleton, the cell cycle, apoptosis and cancer biology. Advanced cell biology is important to a wide range of current biomedical research because it describes much of the biochemical basis for modern pharmacology.

Learning Outcomes

• post-translational modification of proteins and their targeting within living cells;
• regulation of cellular metabolism at the molecular, cellular and organismal level;
• regulation of the cell cycle;
• signalling processes involved in the destruction of proteins and cells.
