Description
This course aims at the acquisition of a good knowledge of the functioning of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, which deals with all the major cellular functions (replication, transcription, translation, cytoskeleton, cell cycle, cell-environment interaction) and the experimental methods which allow their analysis.
The approach to acquire this knowledge in the Tutorial session is carried out by interactive pedagogical methods (preparatory work, work in small groups, oral presentation) in the form of actions that the students must carry out throughout the semester: oral retransmission of knowledge, resolution of problem sets that directly apply the concepts developed in lectures, elaboration of MCQs, analysis of scientific figures, elaboration of a pedagogical creativity project.
In practical work, the student will have a first introduction to the experimental approaches of
differential centrifugation, cell culture and luminescent immunolabelling.
