Learning Outcome: | The overall aim of the Module is to deepen the understanding how molecular processes in eukaryotic cells are regulated and connected. The lecture focuses on molecular processes that connects DNA damage signalling with cell cycle arrest, DNA repair or apoptosis. Furthermore, the student learns about the dynamics of a particular important cell types, the hepatocyte. Based on a profound understanding of molecular processes, the students will also better understand the molecular pathology of human diseases (e.g. cancer) which occur if there is a defect in one of these processes. Understanding the etiology of such diseases is the prerequisite for specific and effective therapies. In addition to specialized knowledge (professional competences), the students will train social competences because of being stimulated for contributions and critical discussions. Methodical competences are developed as well because students have to use different sources to collect informations and facts (e.g. text books, internet searches, peer-reviewed journals, newspapers). |
