CH-411: Cellular signallingPresentation of selected signalling pathways with emphasis on both the mechanism of action of the molecules involved, molecular interactions and the role of their spatio-temporal organization within t
BIO-478: Pharmacology and pharmacokineticsThis course introduces the student to the fudamentals of pharmacology, pharmacokinetics and drug-receptor interactions. It discusses also pharmacogenetics and chronopharmacology, to exemplify the chal
CH-312: Dynamics of biomolecular processesIn this course we will discuss advanced biophysical topics, building on the framework established in the course "Macromolecular structure and interactions". The course is held in English.
PHYS-301: Biophysics : physics of the cellIn this course we will study the cell (minimum unit of life) and its components. We will study several key cellular features: Membranes, genomes, channels and receptors. We will apply the laws of phys
MSE-212: Biology for engineersThis course consists of an introduction to biology and more particularly to biology as a multidisciplinary field, emphasizing
natural examples of materials engineering. It should therefore allow engin
BIO-311: NeuroscienceThe course starts with fundamentals of electrical - and chemical signaling in neurons. Students then learn how neurons in the brain receive and process sensory information, and how other neurons contr
BIO-603(BP): Practical - Barth LabThis course will convey the concepts and experimental techniques for studying the signal transduction mediated by receptors across biological membranes.
BIO-244: Physics of the cellLiving organisms evolve in a physical world: their cells respond to mechanics, electricity and light. In this course, we will describe the behavior and function of cells using physical principles.
BIOENG-450: In silico neuroscience"In silico Neuroscience" introduces students to a synthesis of modern neuroscience and state-of-the-art data management, modelling and computing technologies.
BIO-382: Neuroscience for engineersThis optional course provides students who consider a specialization in Neuroengineering during their Master with a very broad overview of the many practical applications in the field. It should ensur
