The course provides knowledge on use of various model organisms, basic information about embryology and early developmental mechanisms and signaling molecules. Introduces detailed description of development of few organ systems and provides knowledge about classical and novel study techniques to discover new developmental ques. 

This year, due to Covid-19 and limited space in our laboratories, the practical part will be limited to the learning diary along the lectures and a written essay on a chosen article followed by a common discussion.

Upon completion of the course the student have obtained an overview of how the development of tissues and organs is regulated and executed via developmental gene regulation and developmental programs behind morphogenesis. Students will become familiar with the classical and modern experimental embryological techniques during lectures.
