| Leerdoelen | The learning objectives are: 1) to train students on basic key cell biological concepts and apply this knowledge in biomedical research aimed at characterizing the mechanism(s) underlying a specific disease, and to develop new diagnostic methods or therapies (e.g., protein quality control relevance in neurodegenerative diseases), 2) to critically analyze and evaluate a research article and illustrate this in a format of an oral Newsflash presentation. This will provide the students with important knowledge allowing them to link fundamental medical research with pathologies, diagnostics and therapy, as well as to develop their presentation skills. |

| Omschrijving | Description. Knowledge in cell biology is essential for fundamental and biomedical research. Thus, intracellular processes associated to diseases are explained and subsequently discussed in the context of the development of diagnostic tools and therapies. The proposed topics cover: 1) cell contacts and polarization, 2) neuroplasticity 3) protein folding, 4) degradation mechanisms, and 5) stem cell biology. Each theme is connected to a specific diseases. Insights into the disease pathophysiology are also given during the patient/clinical lectures. The lectures will be organized into 4 blocks. A specific medical theme is central to each block. The clinical problems will be outlined during the patient lectures. The 4 block lectures are concluded with two questions-answers sessions, where unclear points provided by the students are discussed. |

(In order to pass the course, both the written exam and oral Newsflash presentation must be graded with 5.5 or higher. Written exams below 5.5 can be retaken. The presentation/oral Newsflash below 5.5 can be retaken once but in that case the maximum grade given to the student cannot be above 6.) |

| Entreevoorwaarden | There are no mandatory entrance conditions. However, the course requires prior knowledge of cell biology acquired from introductory courses of the bachelor program. Due to the medical situation of some patients, some Patient/Clinical lectures will be in given in Dutch but in that case a short summary in English will be provided to the students. In that case, the students will be still able to ask questions in English. All others lectures will be given in English. The slides used for accompanying all the lectures (including the Patient/Clinical lectures), will be in English. |

| Opmerkingen | Max 96 students. Patients/Clinicians lectures and Tutor group meetings (Newsflash), including plenary introductory lectures (course and Newsflash) and final symposium are mandatory. Missing more than one of Patients/Clinicians lectures or introductory lectures without (prior) acceptable justification, will lead to the exclusion of the student from the written exam or a default grade of 1 on the assignment. Additional lecturers: M.C. Bolling, R.J.H.M. Steenbakkers, I. Zuhorn en M. Hipps Dit vak had vorig jaar vakcode WBLS19030 |
