Course Introduction:
This course mainly contains two parts: the first part gives a detailed introduction about the principle of cell biology, the second part introduce the basic methods used in cell biology and the cutting edge cell research in different organs. The course consists of lectures and seminars. The students are expected to reading, discussing and presenting recently published scientific papers related to cell research and to write a review assay on selected topics. The main purpose of this course is to give students an overall introduction of cell, make the students familiar with the principle of cell biology and the cutting edge cell research and prepare them ready to initiate their own research project related to cell biology.
