DESCRIPTION
Current biomedical sciences increasingly appreciates and incorporates evolutionary theory, because it is essential to understand the impact of genetic variation on treatment of diseases and development of antibiotic resistance. This course consists of 3 modules, whereby evolutionary developmental biology will be placed in a biomedical context at different levels of biological organization from morphology down to the molecular mechanisms. The emphasis is on model organisms important for biomedical research. We will give more insight into the evolution of building plans and organs and finally the genetic mechanisms as the basis for evolutionary developmental biology in humans and biomedical models.
