MD Cell Biology
Course Overview
This course provides a comprehensive exploration of cell biology, from the fundamental structural and functional roles of organelles to advanced cellular signaling and its critical applications in diagnosing and treating disease. Students will engage with a dynamic research environment that integrates expertise in biochemistry, molecular biology, and state-of-the-art imaging techniques. The curriculum emphasizes the translation of cellular research into physiological understanding and therapeutic innovation.
Key Program Highlights
- Hands-on training with advanced imaging technologies including multiphoton confocal, spinning disk, and 3D electron microscopy
- In-depth study of key cell signaling pathways (e.g., NFKappaB, Wnt) and intracellular messengers (e.g., calcium) in health and disease
- Exploration of cutting-edge research in neuronal cell biology, synaptic function, and cellular stress responses
- Practical experience with model organisms such as C. elegans, D. melanogaster, and mammalian cell systems
- Focus on the clinical applications of cell biology, including cell-based therapies and the molecular basis of diseases like pancreatitis
