课程内容简介(英文) To reflect the rapid development of life sciences in recent years and to meet the needs of graduate students and general doctors, we created the course" Medical Molecular Biology". We selected "medical cell & molecular biology"(Shi-Shu Chen and Xue-Mine Tang, second edition) as the textbook.The whole course comprises four parts. In recent years, many new techniques were emerged in the field of cell biology and molecular biology. So in the first part we introduce some representative biological techniques. The study of biological large molecules developed rapidly to form Genomics, Proteomics, and RNomics in past several years, And small non-Messenger RNA, particularly micro-RNA and siRNA were also become the focus of recent research. These new developments compose the second part. The third part focused on the new progresses of molecular genetics. The last part is in the form of seminars, which pay attention to the latest progresses and hotspots of research in the scope of cell biology and molecular biology. In this part we invite domestic and foreign experts to teach some classes, therefore not exactly the same topics every years. Several relatively fixed topics includes molecular immunology, molecular basis of tumor, gene diagnosis and gene therapy, stem cells, transgenic animals and application of bioinformatics in molecular biology.The course provides medical graduate students and doctors with an understanding of the fundamental principles of molecular biology and a solid foundation for their further research work. |
