Academic preconditions:
BMB504: Fundamental Molecular Biology must be passed by SDU-students
Course introduction
The objective of the course is to give students a basal introduction to the field of stem cell biology. Maintenance of pluripotency. lineage specific determination and differentiation will be described thorough analyses of original research papers.
Qualifications
During the course, participants will get an introduction to the basal mechanisms governing stem cell proliferation and differentiation. The student will learn to read and interpret original literature as well as presenting these data.
Expected learning outcome
The participant will gain an insight into basic transcriptional regulation as well as cell signaling. Participants will be organized into several study groups of 3-4 students where they will discuss and present original research articles, both oral and written.
