| Purpose of the course | To increase the understanding of mechanotransduction in cancer in development, and the different approaches and methods available for studying mechanotransduction. |
| Intended learning outcomes | Upon completion of the course, the doctoral students can understand and describe basic concepts of mechanotransduction at the cellular level. The students can describe the roles of mechanotranscription in normal physiology. The students can identify and critically evaluate experimental methods appropriate to providing mechanical signals to biological systems. The students can identify and critically evaluate experimental methods appropriate to measuring mechanical properties of biological systems. |
| Contents of the course | Basic concepts of mechanotransduction in normal physiology and at the cellular level. Recent advances in mechanotransduction in cancer and embryonic development. Experimental methods used to study mechanotransduction in cancer and development. |
| Teaching and learning activities | The learning modes include lectures, teacher-led workshops, work in small groups, a scientific symposium and student presentations. |
| Compulsory elements | The workshops and small group excercises are obligatory. Compensation is according to the instructions of the course director. |
| Examination | The learning outcomes are examined with group excercises and presentations with peer evaluation. |
