10395-01 - Main lecture: Biochemistry - Molecular Principles of Life (2 CP)
| Semester | fall semester 2025 |
| Course frequency | Every fall sem. |
| Lecturers | Jan Pieter Abrahams (jp.abrahams@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | 1. Molecules of life 2. Self-organisation 3. Replication 4. Differentiation 5. Healing 6. Movement 7. Sensing 8. Metabolising 9. Consciousness |
| Learning objectives | In this lecture series, we explain how molecular interactions lead to the emergence of life’s fundamental properties. We discuss the common principles that shape these fundamental mechanisms. We teach you how to creatively combine these concepts, allowing you to quickly understand the essential features of the complex phenomena of life. |
