BASICS OF BIOLOGY (or Biology for Dummies) TRAINING
Basics of Biology (or Biology for dummies)
This is a course of 20h aimed at providing basic Biology (especially on the subjects worked at CRG-CNAG) to medical doctors, informaticians, mathematicians, physicists, engineers and anyone in need.
The course will consist on two parts:
PART I: Gene expression and its regulation. This part includes lessons and guidance from designated teachers, and capitalizes on technology to introduce students into the underlying biological concepts.
PART II: Cell biology. This part fully relies on e-learning. A teacher will be designated for each theme, for guidance and ad-hoc consultation.
CRG Basics of Biology (or Biology for dummies)
PART I: Gene expression and its regulation
Description
Course flow: Students will be divided into groups and a reduced amount of material (e-learning short videos, readings from books) will be distributed. Each group will be responsible to prepare a 30 minute lesson to be delivered in the class under the supervision of a teacher, who is also an expert on the technology to be explained in the remaining class.
Coordinator & teachers:
Fátima Gebauer & Guillermo Vicent, Claudia Vivori, Elías Bechara.
