Learning objectives
<p>The main goal of the course is to present the biological functions at the cellular and intercellular level, through the description of the common mechanisms characterizing eucaryotic cells. The bio-physical quantitative tools for studying general mechanisms such membrane transport, cellular excitability, and synaptic activity, will be provided. </p>
