| 227-0945-00L | Cell and Molecular Biology for Engineers I This course is part I of a two-semester course. | 3 KP | 3G | C. Frei | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | The course gives an introduction into cellular and molecular biology, specifically for students with a background in engineering. The focus will be on the basic organization of eukaryotic cells, molecular mechanisms and cellular functions. Textbook knowledge will be combined with results from recent research and technological innovations in biology. | ||||
| Lernziel | After completing this course, engineering students will be able to apply their previous training in the quantitative and physical sciences to modern biology. Students will also learn the principles how biological models are established, and how these models can be tested. | ||||
| Inhalt | Lectures will include the following topics: DNA, chromosomes, RNA, protein, genetics, gene expression, membrane structure and function, vesicular traffic, cellular communication, energy conversion, cytoskeleton, cell cycle, cellular growth, apoptosis, autophagy, cancer, development and stem cells. In addition, three journal clubs will be held, where one/two publictions will be discussed (part I: 1 Journal club, part II: 2 Journal Clubs). For each journal club, students (alone or in groups of up to three students) have to write a summary and discussion of the publication. These written documents will be graded and count as 25% for the final grade. | ||||
| Skript | Scripts of all lectures will be available. | ||||
| Literatur | "Molecular Biology of the Cell" (6th edition) by Alberts, Johnson, Lewis, Raff, Roberts, and Walter. | ||||
| 227-0949-00L | Biological Methods for Engineers (Basic Lab)   Limited number of participants. | 2 KP | 4P | C. Frei | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | The course during 4 afternoons (13h to 18h) covers basic laboratory skills and safety, cell culture, protein analysis, RNA/DNA Isolation and RT-PCR. Each topic will be introduced, followed by practical work at the bench. Presence during the course is mandatory. | ||||
| Lernziel | The goal of this laboratory course is to give students practical exposure to basic techniques of cell and molecular biology. | ||||
