The course „Bioregulation” at our Department aims at providing the students with an overall view of the major molecular mechanisms that operate in the living organisms, both in unicellular pro- and eukaryotes, as well as in multicellular eukaryotes. The major goal is to educate students to be able to design novel regulatory pathways to be potentially used in medical and biotechnological applications, based on the evolutionary fine-tuned currently existing pathways. Topics include: Introduction to the major regulatory pathways within living cells and organisms at the molecular level. Provide an understanding of the interactions among regulatory pathways and multi-level regulation. Introduction to the major paradigm changes in bioregulation, with respect to the current literature. Providing knowledge on relevant biotechnological applications and biomedical implications.
