Theme and ObjectivesThe biological membrane is one of the most fundamental cellular constituents involved in variousphysiological events such as intracellular vesicular trafficking, cell division and cell migration. The keyfeature of the membrane is the significant physical flexibility that supports its dynamic morphologicalchanges. Involved in this process is a group of cytosolic proteins that reversibly interact with lipidbilayer, creating unique curvature thus shape of the membrane. Recent research by many laboratorieshas revealed necessary roles of such proteins in endocytosis, thus is gathering increasing attentionsfrom the scientific community. In this course, students will be trained to understand and follow up thescientific topics not only in this particular research field, but also cell biology in general.

Students will be also trained fortechniques that enable recapitulation of morphological changes in biological membrane in vitro, by usingfluorescent, differential interference and electron microcopies. Further, biochemical methods for thequantification of molecular interactions between proteins and lipids will be introduced. In the course,the students will master the above top notch methodologies of membrane biology, as well as coordinatetheir own research projects in the field; including membrane morphogenesis and intracellular membranetraffic. The projects will be aimed for publications of their own research papers.
To limit free diffusion of molecules is necessary for creation and maintenance of the order ofbiological system. Cells that constitute our body achieve this by separating their inner spacefrom outer environment with plasma membranes. The ingredients of the cell, so calledorganelles, also utilize biological membranes to protect their luminal space, in order tocontribute to cellular homeostasis. Therefore, the regulation of dynamisms in cellularmembranes plays indispensable role for life, providing the basis of intracellular trafficking andmetabolism. In this course, the students will study the basic principles in the field ofmembrane biology, as well as be trained for tissue culture and genetic transformationtechniques.
