- A brief overview of the early animal development
- Molecular basics of developmental biology
- The driving forces of morphogenesis
- Pattern formation in development
- Development of selected vertebrates (fish, amphibians, birds, mammals)
- Development of model invertebrates (Drosophila, Caenorhabditis, Sea urchins, tunicates, cnidarians)
- Stem cells

Assessment and permitted materials
