Description

Eukaryotic cells are characterized by the presence of intracellular organelles. Membrane trafficking is the essential process of maintaining these organelles and allowing the transport of proteins and lipids from one compartment to another and to the correct destination.

This module will introduce students to the world-leading research in this area taking place at UCL, and focus on presenting a data-led accumulation of knowledge. Students will learn how to analyse critically research papers and gain experience in scientific writing and presentation.

This module is advanced cell biology, and will build on basic knowledge acquired in year 2. We will focus on the molecular mechanisms of membrane trafficking. We will also look at how protein trafficking mechanisms contribute to disease 鈥� both from the perspective of diseases caused by aberrant membrane trafficking and also how pathogens such as viruses and bacteria enter the cell and disrupt host cell machineries
