Description

This 15-credit lecture-based module is intended for students not specialising in Biochemistry and covers essential topics in molecular biology.

The aim is to introduce you to the basic concepts of the central dogma of Molecular Biology, explaining the principles of our genetic code and the ways by which they generate the infrastructure that supports life.

Building on the basic knowledge of biochemistry established in BIOC0001 in the first year, you will acquire a deeper knowledge of four selected areas of molecular biology:

  • DNA synthesis, damage / repair and technological advances (4 lectures)
  • RNA transcription / processing and technological advances (4 lectures)
  • Chromatin modelling and epigenetic modifications (1 lecture)
  • Protein synthesis, signalling and trafficking (5 lectures)
  • Cell growth, proliferation and transformation (4 lectures)
