DMMC COURSES & WORKSHOPS

MOLECULAR CELL BIOLOGY IN ACTION
10 Jan - 21 Feb 2005; 0930-1230 weekly (Mon)
Venue: Lecture Theatre, Conway Institute, University College Dublin (location)

Course Coordinator: Dr Derek Brazil (Conway Institute, UCD)

A seven-week course covering molecular processes and interactions inside and between cells. Lecturers describe the experimental study of these processes, and how this impacts on knowledge and treatment of disease. The course assumes a basic knowledge of molecular biology.
