Students attend tutorial courses on many cell biology topics in their first year. Tutorials are designed to encourage active student participation and discussion in an informal atmosphere to give a broad understanding of various areas of molecular cell biology as well as developmental biology, neurobiology, immunology and the cell biology of disease. They are led by active researchers from the LMCB and leading laboratories in the UK and Europe. Students are sent a reading list in advance and may be asked to prepare material to present. Tutorials are held twice a week throughout the first year and fall into the following categories

    •    Cell Decision Making
    •    Cell Signalling
    •    Cytoskeleton
    •    Computational Biology
    •    Development
    •    Growth Control
    •    Membrane trafficking
    •    Neurobiology
