The course "Introduction to Cell Biology" offers a unique opportunity to dive into the fascinating world of cells – the basic units of life. The main goal of the course is to provide students with in-depth knowledge and intellectual curiosity in understanding the basic processes occurring in cell biology.

The course will begin with a comprehensive introduction to different cell types (eukaryotes and prokaryotes), cell organelles, and genetic material. Subsequently, the course will focus on macro-molecules that build and operate within the cell, including lipids, proteins, sugars, and nucleic acids, while practicing and graphically describing the structures of various molecules.

Further on, the discussion will expand to the cell life cycle and the process of cell division (mitosis), where students will practice graphically describing the different stages of division. Additionally, the connections between problems in mitosis and the development of various diseases will be studied.

At the end of the course, students will be able to describe the roles of different organelles and macro-molecules within cells, and will practice verbal and graphic descriptions of the stages of mitosis. The course provides an exceptional opportunity to deepen understanding of the central basic processes in cell biology and to develop intellectual curiosity in this field.

* The course material will be tailored to the age of the learners.
