MBV3010 - Advanced cell biology

Course content

Membrane transport and general electrical membrane characteristics, protein sorting in eukaryotic cells, vesicle traffic, cyto-skeleton, organelles, apoptosis, extracellular matrix, cellular signal transduction, the adaptive immune system.

Learning outcomes

The students will gain insight into the molecular mechanisms that are the basis for the cellular processes that are studied (membrane transport, membrane potential, protein sorting, cellular immunology etc), and they should be able to follow the current original literature on the subjects. The students will around Easter-time work with projects in groups with particular topics and present their work to the other students and teachers. The students will be given (introductory) training in immunological methods related to cell biology used in the research at the Department of Molecular Biosciences.

Admission

Students at UiO must apply for courses in StudentWeb.

International applicants, if you are not already enrolled as a student at UiO, please see our information about admission requirements and procedures for international applicants.

Prerequisites

Formal prerequisites

MBV1010 - Cell biology and genetics and MBV1030 - General biochemistry or similar courses.

In addition to fulfilling the Higher Education Entrance Qualification, applicants have to meet the following special admission requirements:

One of these:

• Mathematics R1
• Mathematics (S1+S2)

And and in addition one of these:

• Mathematics (R1+R2)
• Physics (1+2)

The special admission requirements may also be covered by equivalent studies from Norwegian upper secondary school or by other equivalent studies. Read more about special admission requirements.

Recommended prior knowledge

MBV1020 - Physiology.

Teaching

The course format will be lectures (54 hours), colloquia (24 hours), group work (ca 10 hours) and labwork (5 hours). Students are expected to take an active part in classes, and to hand in lab reports and some colloquia questions. The lab. work, group work and colloquia are mandatory. The lab reprorts, group work and some colloquia papers must be approved before the exam.

Exam information

Final written exam, 3 hours, in June. Allowed examination aids: None. The group work included the presentation and the approved colloquia questions, can be used to ajust the final grade.

Letter grading (A-F).

This subject offer new examination in the beginning of the subsequent term for candidates who withdraw during an ordinary examination or fail an ordinary examination. More information about new examination can be found on the faculty's site.

Evaluation of this course

Feedback from our students is essential to us in our efforts to ensure and further improve the high quality of our programmes and courses. As a student at the University of Oslo you will therefore be asked to participate in various types of evaluation of our courses, facilities and services. All courses are subject to continuous evaluation. At regular intervals we also ask students on a particular course to participate in a more comprehensive, in-depth evaluation of this course, a so called "periodic evaluation".
