Objective

  • To study cell structure and functions of organelle functions
  • Exposure on transportations through cell membrane
  • To focus on different receptors and model of signaling
  • To introduce the concept of cell signaling

Course outcome

  • The course is aimed to make the student understand the basic concept of cell structure, membrane, cellular functions of different types of cell, modes of cellular signaling and signal amplification.

Our Main Teachers

Objective To provide depth knowledge of biological or medicinal processes through the investigation of the underlying molecular mechanisms. • Understanding of chemical and molecular processes that occur in and between cells.   •Understanding will become such that, can be able to describe and explain processes and their meaning for the characteristics of living organisms.
