Average Course Rating

Short elective course consists of short lectures, readings, discussions and short assignments on the molecular and cellular biology of programmed cell death and autophagy. Topics include classical and emerging death pathways (e.g. apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis), autophagy mechanisms (e.g. macroautophagy, mitophagy, chaperone-mediated autophagy) in physiology and disease (e.g. cancer, neurodegeneration, infection and immunity), and crosstalk between these processes. Evaluation based on readings, in-class contributions and short assignments.
