This course trains Master’s students in scientific reasoning and research proposal writing in cell biology, biochemistry, and life sciences. With a supervisor, students develop a research overview, identify testable questions, and design an experimental strategy. Workshops cover critical reasoning, generative AI, writing, and presentation skills, culminating in proposal submission and defense.

The goal of the course is to give deep insights on the molecular events responsible for the physiology of the cell.

Introduction to the principles and molecular mechanisms of cell polarity, using the three model systems S. cerevisiae (yeast), S. pombe (fission yeast) and mammalian epithelial cells.
