TM Cell and Developmental Biology

BIO-M-TM-CDB

Detailed module description - pdf

Persons in charge:

Module contents
  • Current topics in cell biology (e.g. nucleus and eukaryotic transcription; cell cycle; cytoskeleton; membranes, vesicles and protein sorting; cell-cell communication and tumor formation)
  • Current topics in development of animals (e.g. molecular mechanisms of body plan formation, homeotic genes, cell-cell communication and nervous system formation.
  • Current topics in development of plants (e.g. germline development; fertilization mechanisms; embryogenesis; leaf-, root- and seed development)
  • Presentation and discussion of a research based topic in the field of molecular cell- and developmental biology
Module components
  1. at least two lectures in the field of cell and developmental biology (for a selection see the course catalog at the university portal; WS and SS)
  2. one seminar in the field of cell and developmental biology (for a selection see the course catalog at the university portal; WS and SS)

In the seminar a seminar presentation has to be held and registered in Flexnow as an ungraded study achievement (Studienleistung).

Note! If you are not sure what lectures and seminar to select, please contact the person in charge of the module.
The selection may depend on the examiner you choose for the module examination.
