Engineering & biological systems

The objective of this course is to provide an overview of some fundamental principles of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology and cell biology.

Throughout this course, will be studied the structure and function of key biological molecules and covers the molecular mechanisms underlying homeostasis in both eucaryotic and prokaryotic cells.

This will be complemented with elementary biology to answer the following questions: what is a cell? What are the different types of cells? What biological mechanisms take place in living systems?
