Introduction to Molecular Biology (University Level)
Molecular biology opens up a fascinating world of invisible processes that sustain all life on Earth. In this introductory class, we will explore the basic molecules that compose living organisms – cells, DNA, RNA, and proteins.
We will first examine cells, the fundamental units of life. Peer inside them with microscopes to understand their structure and function. Next, we will study DNA, the molecule that operates as an instruction manual containing all the information required to build an organism. We will learn how DNA replicates itself and gets passed to new cells during cell division.
From there, we will look at RNA, which translates genetic information from DNA and assists in assembling proteins. Proteins, in turn, carry out most of the work within cells and comprise much of your tissues and organs. We will see how changes in DNA can alter proteins and affect an organism’s traits.
This class will provide an overview of key concepts in molecular biology. You will get to explore the microscopic world that makes life possible! See how cells work and how DNA, RNA, and proteins interact in creative ways to produce the amazing diversity of living things – from simple bacteria to complex humans. It will be an illuminating journey!

6+ years lecturing across UK universities (Portsmouth, Surrey and Brunel).Teaching students aged 14 - 20 from school to undergraduate university level.
Welcome to the fascinating world of molecular biology! In this introductory class, we'll explore the basic building blocks that make up living organisms - cells, DNA, RNA, and proteins. Get ready to zoom in deep to see these microscopic molecules up close.
We'll start by looking at cells under a microscope. What do they look like? How do they function? Then we'll dive into the structure of DNA and how it acts like an instruction manual, containing all the information needed to build an organism. We'll learn how DNA is copied and passed on to new cells during cell division.
Next up is RNA, which helps transmit genetic information from DNA and assists in building proteins. Proteins do most of the work in cells and make up much of your hair, skin, muscles and organs. We'll see how mutations in DNA can lead to changes in proteins, affecting how an organism looks and functions.
This introductory class will give you an overview of the fundamental concepts of molecular biology. Get ready to explore the nanoscale world that makes life possible! Discover how cells work and what DNA, RNA and proteins do to create the diversity of living things, from bacteria to blue whales. It will be a fascinating journey!

préparation aux concours de réorientation de médecine ( SVT)I'd like to start by greeting everyone who is reading this and then briefly discuss the teachings I'm providing. Going to medical school is a major step, and while becoming a doctor may have been a big dream of yours, things unfortunately didn't turn out the way you had hoped. You didn't receive what you eagerly want following your bac. I'm here to tell you that earning your bac is just the first step on a longer journey. You have another opportunity to fulfill your lifelong ambitions. What role do I play in this? as someone who has been in your position and ultimately obtained what I want. We will have a customized plan that fulfills your needs, we will correct any unsuccessful methods and build new ones, and I will lead you through the program at every stage.

Biology and Chemistry: Secondary education - private lessons.Need help with geography, biology or chemistry? As a civil engineer, 31, I am happy to help you! Learn at your pace and with many examples to clarify the learning material. I have years of experience in learning simple and complex material.
The lessons run as follows. First, we look together for the student's biggest stumbling blocks. These can be related to the subject matter as well as to the study method. From there, I work at the pace of the student and encourage them to ask as many questions as possible. I also give tips and tricks, and improve their working methods where necessary. During the lesson I give many examples to make the subject matter more interesting and we solve exercises together. Once practiced from the lesson, I mastered challenging exercises to also test the deeper understanding of the subject matter. In this way I try to optimally prepare the student for his/her exam test.
However, learning should also be enjoyable. That is why I always strive for a bond with the student through a spontaneous and positive approach. I am also very patient. All this to solve and improve the problems.
