Course introduction
To give students a thotough introduction to signaling events which underlie eukaryote cell function and dysfunction. Machanism by which extracellular signals are transmitted to cells and exert their effects will be discussed. Participants will learn about the roles of signaling molevules such as hormones, receptors, kinases, and transcription factors. Participants will also gain experience in reading original research articles and in oral and written presentation of scientifc results.

Prerequisites for participating in the exam
None

Assessment and marking:
Students will give short presentations of original research articles. They must attend at least 80% of the scheduled hours and participate actively in discussions following th presentaions. They will also prepare a short synopsis about a signalling topic. Instructors will advice in the preparation of this synopsis, which willalso be the basis for the course grade according to the Dansh 13-point scale with an external examiner.

Expected working hours
The teaching method is based on three phase model.

Forelæsninger (24 timer), fremlæggelser (deltagerne) (24 timer) og opgavevejledning (2 timer).
