Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Scientific skills
• In response to situations and aware of the methodological limitations: - Use common techniques of biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, studies of tissues and organs (i.e. link a macroscopic phenomenon to microscopic processes). - Use an experimental device in a biological model, know and use the concepts and techniques of animal physiology.
• Be familiar with biomedical science research tools, including bioinformatics tools.
• Be a responsible researcher: - Know how to base their reasoning on data obtained from scientific literature. - Know how to integrate an ethical dimension in their reasoning. - Be loyal (to the facts, to the team, and to intellectual property). - Do not tamper with results. - Do not exploit the work of others. - Demonstrate experimental rigor.
• Professional integration skills
• Invest their knowledge and skills in professional scenarios
• Work independently: - Get organised, manage time and priorities, assess themself. - Master assessment methods. - Continue learning individually, prepare to educate themselves throughout life. - Demonstrate abstract thinking. - Be introduced to project management. - Show initiative.
• Demonstrate their ability to research, analyse and synthesise: - Research, analyse, use different sources of information and materials related to biomedical sciences, format them to draw up a summarised document, produced and broadcast them on digital media. - Carry out a study, identify and raise an issue in a predefined context, build and develop an argument, interpret the data and results, develop an overview, and propose extensions. - Question themselves, think critically, debate, and defend their ideas.
• Master written and oral scientific expression. Be independent in writing and show that they can communicate their thoughts, reason and organise their knowledge

Learning Outcomes of UE

Subsequent to the achievement of the fundamental skills of cell biology, the students will be able to broaden their knowledge related this fascinating universe by learning several notions of: (1) molecular mechanisms of cell communication and the signaling pathways, (2) the cytoskeleton and the cell behavior; (3) regulation of cell cycle and the programmed cell death; (4) the social context of cells and the control of cell survival and death; (5) methods of cell culture and observation of the cell structure and functions.

Content of UE

  <u>The following themes will be approached:</u>Cell communication;
Cytoskeleton;
Cell cycle and the programmed cell death ;
Cell junctions, cell adhesion and extracellular matrix;
Stem-cell engineering;
Methods of cell manipulation and observation.
