Frei Betreuer: Vorlesung: Link zum Kurskatalog Fall 2017 Webseite: Ziele: After completing this course, engineering students will be able to apply their previous training in the quantitative and physical sciences to modern biology. Students will also learn the principles how biological models are established, and how these models can be tested. Vorlesungslevel: D-ITET Master, Systems and Control specialization Supplementary Core Courses Voraussetzungen: Inhalt: Lectures will include the following topics: DNA, chromosomes, RNA, protein, genetics, gene expression, membrane structure and function, vesicular traffic, cellular communication, energy conversion, cytoskeleton, cell cycle, cellular growth, apoptosis, autophagy, cancer, development and stem cells. In addition, three journal clubs will be held, where one/two publictions will be discussed. For each journal club, students (alone or in groups of up to three students) have to write a summary and discussion of the publication. These written documents will be graded, and count as 25% for the final grade. http://www.vvz.ethz.ch/Vorlesungsverzeichnis/lerneinheitPre.do?lerneinheitId=52670&semkez=2008W&lang=en Dokumentation: Scripts of all lectures will be available.
