Overview and Integration of Cellular Metabolism
Prof. Aritri Bir and Prof. Arindam Ghosh · IIT Kharagpur
About
Every single cell in human body is constantly engaged in millions of chemical reactions that are vital to the survival of the cell and, by extension, the entire human body. The term "metabolism" is used to describe the sum total of a cell's chemical reactions. It encompasses intake, utilization, transport, breakdown and formation of different biomolecules which themselves are interconnected to each other through a complex metabolic web. The course will provide a detailed in-depth knowledge to the major metabolic pathways from a clinical perspective. It will also discuss the important human diseases related to metabolism.
Intended audience: MBBS students, Post Graduate students of MD Biochemistry, Senior Residents of Biochemistry, Young Biochemistry teaching faculties, MSc Medical Biochemistry students, BDS students, BSc Nursing. BSc Biological Science, BSc Nutrition, Students preparing for NEET PG and NEET SS examinations.
Prerequisites: Basic concepts in Chemistry and Biology
