Intracellular calcium signalling

Topics to be covered

The main aspect of Ca2+ signalling will be discussed with particular reference to the versatility of the signalling system and how it can be adapted to control many different cellular processes. This information will then be applied to various aspects of Ca2+ homeostasis such as the release of PTH and osteoclastogensis.

Educational goals

After attending this Meet the Professor session, participants will be expected to:

• understand the importance of having a robust working hypothesis to guide research;
• understand how to ask the right questions.

Target audience

Research students and postdocs.

Teaching methods

The main approach will be to involve participants by focusing the discussion on their own research problems and guiding the discussion so that they can begin to see how the new information may help in their research planning.
