Seminars on alterations of ribosome biogenesis and ribosomes in human diseases

Learning objectives

The aim of the course is to provide students with knowledge on the general mechanisms of ribosome biogenesis and how this can be de-regulated in cancer and ribosomopathies. In addition, the course will focus on different sources of ribosome heterogeneity, and how these can be studied under a structural and functional standpoint in many pathological contexts.
