BBT3103 Advanced Molecular Biology
This course has been designed to help students build on the fundamentals of molecular biology, especially with respect to eukaryotic and prokaryotic post transcriptional gene regulation. The students will also learn more about gene mutation in cancer cells, molecular aspect of protein modification and transport as well as cell communication. This will also enable them to acquire additional knowledge and laboratory skills required to carry out research work in academia or in the biotechnology industry.
