Bacterial Cell Biology [SBIOM136]
- 2 credits
- 22h
- 1st quarter
Language of instruction: EnglishTeacher: Matroule Jean-Yves
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student will be able to understand the complexity of bacterial cell organization and the main underlying molecular mechanisms. The students will also have a view of the major technological approaches used to address this topic.
Objectives
The aim of this module consists in showing the students the cellular organization of the bacteria, which has been underestimated for a long time by the scientific community. The development of microscopy and molecular biology revealed the complexity of this organization and its impact on the cellular processes.
Content
The content of this course may slightly vary each year depending of the field of expertise of the invited speakers and the research topic of the URBM but the major aspects of bacterial cell organization and the technologies used to address these processes will be covered during the course.
Teaching methods
This course is divided in different sessions where 1) invited speakers will present their research, 2) the Professor will present recent scientific data via scientific papers analysis and 3) students teams will address a specific question related to bacterial cellular organization via scientific literature search and supervised discussions (Problem-based learning)
Evaluations
The students teams will present in 30 min the results of their PBL work. After the presentation, the students will also be questioned individually on the course content.
