Learning Achievement

Competence

Course prerequisites

- Students must have 1st year Master knowledge of biological science,
plant biology and biotechnology.
- Language prerequisites: a good level of English.

Grading Philosophy

- A 2 hour written exam.
- Scientific paper group presentation
- Rules for failure: an overall grade of 10/20 is necessary to pass
the exam.

Course schedule

- Content of the course is related to different aspects of cell
compartmentalisation of metabolic pathways and their regulations and
“modelling”.
- The use of state of the art technologies in Molecular Biology,
Biochemistry, Cell Imaging and Modeling approaches to address the cell
compartmentalization of metabolic pathways will be highlighted by
literature case studies.
