Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Acquire, understand and use knowledge in the fields of biology and other fields
• Understand the fundamentals of chemistry (including organic chemistry) and general physics both applied to biology
• Demonstrate an understanding of the general principles of life to understand questions and solve situations related to biology
• Solve issues relevant to biology
• Have developed practical skills in the various fields of biology through practical sessions in the laboratory and in the field, during which they have worked individually or in groups
• Apply a scientific approach and critical thinking
• Develop critical thinking, test and monitor conclusions understanding the domain of validity, and explore alternative hypotheses
• Communicate effectively and appropriately in French and English
• Communicate in French, orally and in writing, the results of experiments and observations by constructing and using graphs and tables
• Develop autonomy, set training objectives and make choices to achieve them
• Organise time and work, individually and in groups

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of this course, the student will acquire fundamentals of cell biology, as for example biomembranes formation, protein adressing to membranes and different cell comptarments, vesicular trafficking, cytoskeleton, cell cycle and cell junctions.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

This course provides fundamentals of cell biology for understanding and integration of physiology, functional histology and embryolgy especially. We will describe the biomembrane structure, protein transfer into membranes and organites, nucleocytoplasmic transport, vesicular trafficking, cell organization and movement, cell cycle regulation and cell junctions. During practical sessions, students will learn to manipulate cell lines and to achieve basical cell biology experiments. Attendance to the pratical courses is mandatory.
