This module is designed to provide students with detailed up‐to‐date knowledge of cell biological techniques and the differentiation of eukaryotic cells, as well as key processes in development that are based on cell‐cell interactions and cell movements. In the practicals, students will learn standard cell biological techniques in microscopy, histology and will be familiarized with the preparation of cell material from living organisms. The module provides an invaluable foundation for genetics, biochemistry, molecular, neurobiological, physiological and biomedical programmes.
