- The student knows the different biomolecules and organelles and structures of the cell.
- The student can explain the processes of translation, transcription, epigenetics and molecular regulation in detail.
- The student has a basic knowledge about mammalian anatomy and structures.
- The student has acquired specific laboratory skills, including the correct use of pipets, the calculation of dilution series, working in an structured manner and is able to save, manipulate and analyse data in Excel.

Life cycles and developmental patterns; Principles of experimental embryology; Genes, development and genomic equivalence; Cell cell communication in development: signaling pathways; Early development of vertebrates; Gastrulation and axis formation; Heart development; Adult development and regeneration
Course specific learning outcomes:
The student can recognize, name, describe, and schematically represent anatomical and cellular structures, organs, and tissues related to the embryonic development process.
The student can explain in detail the various phases of the embryonic development and regeneration process and relate them to relevant anatomical and cellular structures.
The student can identify, elaborate on, and reason about the key molecular players and pathways in the embryonic development and regeneration process. Additionally, the student can link these to specific phases and structures in the developmental process.
The student can apply research methodologies used in developmental biology to interpret related research data.
The student can execute a predetermined protocol in the lab and analyze, process, and report the obtained results in the form of a scientific poster and adjust it based on received feedback.
The student can search for information on a developmental biology-related topic by consulting scientific sources and literature, summarize this information, present it orally, critically reflect on it, and form a well-founded opinion.

| Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass) | ✔ |
|
| Conditions | Attendance at all practica/presentation is required. Students must justify any absence. In case of force majeure, an ad hoc arrangement will be provided. |
|
|
|
| Consequences | Unauthorised absence at one or more of the practica/presentation results in unauthorised absence as the final mark.
A student who achieves a score lower than 8/20 on one (or more) parts of the evaluation will receive 'F - fail' as the final result. This final result is not tolerable. A student who scores at least 8/20 for all parts of the evaluation receives a score that is the weighted average of the different points. This final mark is tolerable. E.g., 8/20 + 16/20 = 12/20 (passed). |
