Genetics and Molecular Biology courses for BS and MS
From 21 € /h
With the Genetics course, an undergraduate student will be exposed to a clear, comprehensive, and balanced introduction to genetics and genomics. The material deals with transmission genetics and molecular genetics, as fully integrated subjects, and provides an understanding of the basic processes of gene transmission, mutation, expression, and regulation.
Upon successful completion of the course, students must be able to:
Common outcomes:
a - Solve genetic problems of several types.
b - Write and State genetic principles in their own words and recognize the key terms of genetics in context.
c - Be able to think like a geneticist at the elementary level of being able to formulate genetic hypotheses, work out their consequences, and test the results against observed data.
d - Gain some sense of the social and historical context in which genetics and genomics has developed and is continuing to develop.
e - Develop critical thinking and analytical skills.
Specific Outcomes:
1.1 - Analyze a pedigree, determine the mode of inheritance and genotypes, and predict offspring ratios.
1.2 - Inspect data from 3-point mapping crosses.
1.3 - Test the goodness-of-fit of experimental data to theoretical predictions using the chi-squared test.
2.1 – Discover and discuss the basic processes of gene transmission, mutation and expression.
2.2 - Assess the principal experimental methods that geneticists use in their studies, and consider the advantages and limitations of these approaches.
2.3 - Investigate the modes of gene expression regulation.
3.1 – Examine the role of every component of eukaryotic and prokaryotic chromosomes.
3.2 – Predict and evaluate the consequences of genomic rearrangements.
3.3 – Analyze genome organization and the parameters affecting DNA renaturation.
4.1 – Consider the different mechanisms of genetic exchanges.
4.2 – Practice how transformation, transduction and conjugation can be used in gene
With the Molecular Biology course, the student will acquire knowledge in the field of modern molecular biology as it covers the molecular mechanisms of gene expression and regulation, the fundamental aspects of recombinant DNA technology, the protein structure and function, the signaling pathways that control gene activity, the regulation of the eukaryotic cell cycle, the Cell birth lineage and death, and Cancer.
Course Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of the course, students must be able to:
Common outcomes:

1.2- Analyze and evaluate the applications of recombinant DNA technology.
2.1- Practice a genome-wide analysis of gene structure and expression.
2.2- Identify the transcriptional and post transcriptional gene expression regulation.
2.3- Acquire knowledge about the histone code and dissect how chromatin remodeling plays an important role in the determination of gene expression pattern.
2.4- Investigate how the post translational modifications participate in regulating gene function.
3.1- Consider biology at new levels of complexity, such as large multiprotein signaling complexes in cells.
3.2- Interpret how signaling pathways control gene activity.
4.1- Examine the molecular aspects underlying the activation of the origins of replication and the occurrence of the early and late mitotic events.

About Me
I hope that you are doing fine and you are having a great thoughtful day.
Dynamic and Customized Teaching Strategy:
Are You Looking In Academia for Comfort and Confidence, Motivation, Effective Learning, Increased Concentration, Personal Analytical Skill Exploration, Scientific Curiosity Unraveling, High Energy Boost, Critical Thinking Blooming, Scientific Communication Refinement?
I am here for you.
A PhD in Cancer Genetics after a master’s degree in Cellular and Molecular Genetics, an experience of 16 years in teaching Genetics and molecular Biology courses, fluency in three languages (spoken and written), along with my writing/supervising research projects skills, ability to contribute collaboratively and strong passion for biological research will permit me to participate in your academic development in a teaching capacity.
I have done my MS in Cellular and Molecular Genetics at Victor Segalen University - Bordeaux and my PhD in the field of Genomic Instability in Cancer at “Curie Institute - Paris”. Cancer, as a major problem of public health, was always a challenging concern to me and deciphering the molecular characteristics of this disease is among my top research priorities.
I have competencies in cell and bacterial cultures, FACS, PCR, FISH, CGH, Fluorescence Microscopy, proteins/nucleic acid extractions, western blot, DNA sequencing, siRNA transfection, genome analysis, as well as a broad variety of laboratory techniques and computer skills. Furthermore, I have a wide range of teaching experience, based mainly on stimulating analytical ability and challenging constructive critical thinking. The courses I teach cover all aspects of classical and molecular Genetics including transmission genetics, medical genetics, cytogenetics, bacterial/viral genetics, genome organization, molecular genetic mechanisms, regulation of gene expression, epigenetics, genetic engineering, biotechnology and Cancer Genetics.
My dynamic experience as a university professor committed to honest work created a combination of skills that gives me a solid foundation for a meaningful contribution at your academic blooming. It is noteworthy to mention that I am highly serious, dedicated, vividly motivated with strong passion for teaching.
Looking forward to hearing from you

Education
PhD: Genome Instability and Cancer at Curie Institute
Pierre & Marie Curie University
Paris, France
Cancer cells are characterized by their ability to grow at an uncontrolled, quickened and indefinite pace. Point mutations in tumor suppressor genes and proto-oncogenes, changes in chromosome copy numbers and structure are various forms of genome instability that constitute a hallmark of cancer. Several studies suggest a strong correlation and molecular colocalization between breakpoints that lead to chromosome rearrangements in cancer and breaks at nonrandom genomic loci called common fragile sites (CFSs). This finding highlights the importance of CFSs in oncogenesis. CFSs are site-specific breaks that are observed on metaphase chromosomes when cells are cultured under stress conditions.
