Current Research Topics in Cellular Biochemistry
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 16:30:51
Abstract
During this Masters level seminar style course, students will explore current research topics in cellular biochemistry focused on the structure, function and regulation of selected cell components, and the consequences of dysregulation for pathologies.
Objective
Students will work with experts toward a critical analysis of cutting-edge research in the domain of cellular biochemistry. At the end of the course, students will be able to evaluate, critically discuss and write about scientific articles in the research area of cellular biochemistry, and they will identify open testable research questions.
Content
Guided by an expert in the field, students will engage in classical round-table style discussions of current literature with frontal presentations. Guided by a faculty expert, students develop domain knowledge of the research area associated with a primary paper, and then develop a mini-review document. It is possible to align the course focus to an onging or future research project in the domain of the course tutors. At the end of the semester, students present as a group to an overview of the reasearch domain and research perspectives.
