| Leerdoelen | The general objective of this course is a better understanding of fundamental aspects of biological membranes and the roles that membranes play in various neurological disorders. The students will broaden and deepen their knowledge of biological membranes, how they are build, which functions they perform as barriers, their roles in transport and signaling. Moreover, this fundamental knowledge will be applied in the context of neurological diseases, such as MS, Parkinson, Alzheimer, glioblastoma, and storage diseases. The learning objectives are: At the end of the course the students are able to: L.O. 1: apply various aspects of membranes, in relation to structure, physiology, polarity and transport. L.O. 2: evaluate and summarize the methods and results obtained in the practical work and illustrate this in the format of a written report L.O. 3: critically evaluate the field of international research on membranes and transport to which the selected assignment refers, and illustrate this in the format of an oral presentation. |
