CH-411: Cellular signallingPresentation of selected signalling pathways with emphasis on both the mechanism of action of the molecules involved, molecular interactions and the role of their spatio-temporal organization within t
BIO-692: Symmetry and Conservation in the CellThis course shows students how the physical principles of conservation, symmetry, and locality influence the dynamics of living organisms at the molecular and cellular level. Computer simulations are
BIO-618: Practical - Schuhmacher LabIt's all about the lipids: We use a chemical biology approach to answer outstanding questions in membrane biology.
We show you how to use our lipid tools that allow you to manipulate lipid concentra
PHYS-301: Biophysics : physics of the cellIn this course we will study the cell (minimum unit of life) and its components. We will study several key cellular features: Membranes, genomes, channels and receptors. We will apply the laws of phys
BIO-311: NeuroscienceThe course starts with fundamentals of electrical - and chemical signaling in neurons. Students then learn how neurons in the brain receive and process sensory information, and how other neurons contr
BIO-212: Biological chemistry IBiochemistry is a key discipline for the Life Sciences. Biological Chemistry I and II are two tightly interconnected courses that aim to describe and understand in molecular terms the processes that m
MSE-212: Biology for engineersThis course consists of an introduction to biology and more particularly to biology as a multidisciplinary field, emphasizing
natural examples of materials engineering. It should therefore allow engin
BIOENG-455: Computational cell biologyComputer modelling is increasingly used to study dynamic phenomena in cell biology. This course shows how to identify common mathematical features in cell biological mechanisms, and become proficient
CH-210: BiochemistryLes constituants biochimiques de l'organisme, protéines, glucides, lipides, à la lumière de l'évolution des concepts et des progrès en biologie moléculaire et génétique, sont étudiés.
BIOENG-611: Diffusion in biological systemsThis course introduces students to models of active and passive transport in biological systems. This will include the effect of external factors (motor proteins, crowding) and membrane dynamics on tr
