Metabolism Transport and Motion (Core Fundamental part)

Aim

Within this theme the NCMLS bundles studies in two areas: (a) Energy and redox metabolism and (b) Membrane transport and intracellular motility.

In this course will be explained how the processes of energy and redox metabolism or pump, motor or transport systems are coupled, and what the importance of cellular compartmentalisation is in this coupling in health and disease In particular, the consequences of defects in this integrated network occurring in various inherited and acquired disorders will be discussed. It will also explain how knowledge of transcriptome, proteome and metabolome data at the bioinformatics level can be integrated and used for candidate disease gene and pathway prediction.
