本課程授課對象為想從事分子或細胞研究，或欲充實基本細胞生物學知識的臨床醫學研究所學生。過去20年間，隨著分子生物技術的進步，對於細胞作用機制有長足的進展。本所學生多長期從事臨床醫學工作，進入本所將從臨床服務之外，學習從事醫學研究。本課程的目的，希望作為一個銜接功能，使學生重新學習並瞭解細胞生物學的新知。細胞生物學為許多生物醫學學門的基礎，本課程將做為學生進一步學習現代分子生物學、免疫學、癌症生物學、精神醫學、系統生物學…等進階課程的基石，為學生從事基礎或臨床醫學研究的基本知識。
The aim of this course will be particular for the one who want to understand life science from basic or clinical aspects. The fast speed advancement in modern biomedical sciences in the past two decades enhanced the need for our graduate students to learn medicine from the most fundamental building block and smallest units of organism. This course provide multidisciplinary in bioscience. Hope to provide our graduate student a more comprehensive absorption on biomedicine.
