Through lectures and exercises, the course will describe organization and transport in eucaryotic cells and how single cells builds up multi-cellular organisms. Moreover, principles for cell communication, with be described. The cell cycle, cell renewal and cell death including errors leading to cancer with be addressed from a molecular perspective. Central principles of the immune system is also part of the course.
