Molecular and Cell Biology

О курсе

Investigate the fundamental molecular and cellular mechanisms that govern life processes and human health. Build comprehensive understanding of how biological systems function at the molecular level to support clinical decision-making in nursing practice. Connect molecular principles to patient care scenarios through exploration of metabolism, genetics, and cellular communication pathways essential for understanding pharmacology and pathophysiology. By the end of this course, you will be able to: Analyze protein structure-function relationships, enzyme mechanisms, and their roles in cellular processes and drug interactions Evaluate cellular membrane structure, transport mechanisms, and organelle functions that maintain cellular homeostasis Explain energy metabolism pathways including glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain Apply knowledge of cell cycle regulation, DNA replication, transcription, and translation to understand genetic disorders and therapeutic targets Skills: Scientific Reasoning, Systems Thinking
