It is aimed to teach the membrane structure, their chemical and physical relations in function. In addition it is also aimed to teach membrane transports, different channel types on membrane and their relations with cell siganlling pathways and human diseases specially in cancer. This course is going to to provide a detaied understanding about membrane molecular biology to discuss further studies at undergradutae and graduate levels.
