Thematik

Molecular cell biology aims to introduce the molecular mechanisms of molecular biology and cell biology and to emphasise their importance in medicine. It provides the basis for teaching the different areas of molecular medicine, molecular pathology, molecular diagnostics, pharmacology and gene therapy. In the second semester of the course, we will discuss signalling pathways, apoptosis signalling, types of stem cells and their medical importance. In addition to the general characteristics of tumors, we will describe the characteristics of DNA and RNA tumor viruses involved in tumorigenesis, as well as the mechanisms of activation of cellular oncogenes and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. In addition to the multistep mechanisms of tumor development, we will discuss the latest treatment options. At the end of the semester, we will summarize molecular diagnostic techniques, types of gene therapy and their importance in medical practice.

Voraussetzung zum Absolvieren des Semesters

Completion of all practices, confirmed by the instructor's signature. No more absences from seminars and practices than allowed. According to the application of the provision of Section 1/A (6) of the Code of Studies and Examinations to small group sessions (seminars, practices).

Semesteranforderungen

Mid-term and end-of-semester written tests. The dates and topics of the tests will be announced during the lecture and in the Molecular Cell Biology lecture Teams group. There is no possibility for retakes for any of the written tests. Based on the combined results of the mid-term tests, exemption from the exam can be obtained.

Möglichkeiten zur Nachholung der Fehlzeiten

Due to absences, make-up practicals can be attended at make-up sessions organized by the Department.

Mid-term tests can be made up according to the options designated by the course leader. There is no possibility to make up the end-of-semester test.
