Course content
The course "Fundamentals of Cell Cloning" covers the issues of cell biology, mechanisms of functioning of an individual cell in a population of genetically similar cells, and studies the laws of regulation of cell division, differentiation, and death. The course covers the peculiarities of nutrition and conditions for cloning eukaryotic cells and tissues in vitro. The knowledge gained can be used in solving urgent problems of mankind, primarily related to improving health and saving environmental resources.
