Outline and Purpose of the Course (Aim) Through presentations and related discussions, this course aims to equip students with knowledge related to membrane trafficking and signal transduction as well as basic approaches in the interpretation of individual data and logicality, and also aims to help them develop problem-solving skills to move forward with research and deal with various scientific problems.
(Summary) The course introduces the latest findings in membrane trafficking and biomembrane structures as well as related regulatory mechanisms, including ciliary protein transport, ciliary functions, and cell division, which are used as a basis for discussion.
Guidance regarding presentation and discussion methods will be circulated beforehand through a bulletin and will also be explained in the first seminar.
Course Goals To gain knowledge related to membrane trafficking, intra-ciliary protein transport, signal transduction, and mechanisms for biomembrane homeostasis, as well as learn basic approaches in the interpretation of individual data and logicality, and develop problem-solving skills to move forward with research and solve various scientific problems.
