NBIK10018U Cell Biology
MSc Programme in Biology
Please see under "Learning outcome".
By attending the course, the student will achieve:
Knowledge:
The course provides the student with a detailed and comprehensive knowledge on cell biology as well as on cellular signaling transduction pathways that control cellular processes during development and in tissue homeostasis (see also "Criteria for exam assessment"). The course presents the latest research within selected cell biological areas and their significance in human health and disease.
Skills:
The course covers theoretical and experimental knowledge based on text books, original articles and review papers such that the student will be able to analyze, interpret and evaluate experimental data obtained from cell biological research that covers the criteria for exam assessment (please see "Criteria for exam assessment").
Competencies:
The student is competent to understand, interpret and integrate the complexity of cell biology.

Der udbydes et sidste reeksamensforsøg i kurset den 22. juni 2015.
Reeksamen afholdes som en mundtlig eksamen. Studenten trækker en opgave, hvorefter den studerende har 15 min forberedelsestid med alle hjælpemidler i papirformat (lærebøger, artikler, egne noter, mv.), som afsluttes med 15 min mundtlig eksamination (eksl. votering).
Criteria for exam assesment
In order to obtain the grade 12 (Top grade for excellency) the student must be able to:
- Describe the structure, organization and function of macromolecules (DNA, RNA and proteins) in central cellular processes.
- Describe the organization and function of the subcellular structures in animal cells, including organelles, membrane systems and the cytoskeleton.
- Describe the structure and development of cell tissues and their organization in mammals.
- Describe the mechanisms that regulate transport processes across cell membranes and explain the significance of these mechanisms in cell and tissue homeostasis.
- Describe how cells interact and communicate with the extracellular environment to control gene expression and physiological activity.
- Describe and catagorize signal transduction systems that control cell cycle entry, cell differentiation, cell motility and cell death in cell and tissue homeostasis.
- Analyze, interpret and evaluate experimental data obtained from cell biological research
- Integrate and apply cell biological processes taught during the
course to describe and analyze important physiological and
patophysiological conditions, including developmental disorders and
cancer.
Grading according to the Danish 7-step-scale system: - 12 (excellent; equivalent to “A” in the ECTS-scale). The student has demonstrated a high level of command of all aspects with no or only a few minor weaknesses.
- 7 (good; equivalent to “C” in the ECTS-scale). The student has demonstrated a good command with some weaknesses.
- 02 (adequate; equivalent to “E” in the ECTS-scale). The student has demonstrated the minimum requirements for acceptance.
