Course description
Cell Structure and Function entails the study of the molecular mechanisms that regulate cell function. This course will provide students with an understanding of the molecules & complexes that make up cells and mediate cell activities such as proliferation, secretion, motility and cell death. Knowledge of the processes that regulate these activities is an essential requirement for the study of normal cellular physiology, and for the development of new drugs and improved treatments for many disorders such as cancer, diabetes and metabolic diseases.
