Module Overview:
The aim of this module is to provide you with state-of-the-art knowledge of central aspects of cell and molecular biology and to encourage development of skills for experimental design. The module will enable you to critically analyse research topics from cell and molecular biology and to design theoretical experiments on a given topic.
Additional Information:This module will enable students to critically analyse research topics from cell and molecular biology and to design theoretical experiments on a given topic. Journal articles for this module will be given by each lecturer as required for each teaching block.
