Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Prerequisites
Pré-requis : Cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology.
Main themes
The main topics are those of the analysis of the interaction between DNA and proteins, the study of gene expression, including manipulation of the expression level, cell imaging, receptor function, and electrophysiology. The integrated use of the tools presented will be further illustrated by recent scientific publications.
Aims
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 |
At the end of this course, students will be able to use the tools needed to study the function of genes and their expression. Students will also be able to use the tools needed to investigate the subcellular localization and function of the proteins encoded by these genes. |
