Signaltransduktion

Understanding inter- and intracellular communications is essential when working in life science. Although the complexity of the issue makes the subject almost unmanageable there exist general principles and types of molecules that play a key role in signal transduction. A profound knowledge of these provides the basis to look into any kind of pathway successfully. In addition to understand the concepts it is of the same value to also know key experimental approaches that are applicable to elucidate signal transduction components and networks. It is therefore the aim of the lecture to develop an understanding not only of key signaling pathways (professional competences) but also of the experimental methodology used to study signal transduction in the lab. Summary: At the end of the module students are able to remember general mechanisms and understand the relevant scientific literature. They are able to apply the knowledge to design and perform own experiments. They can analyze and evaluate the data they obtain and should be able to create various new approaches to study and work in the field of signal transduction.
