Upon successful completion of this course students should be able to:

1. Apply the knowledge gained in this course to performing research in fields of apoptosis, necrosis, autophagy and senescence.
2. Develop novel hypotheses and avenues of research related to biology of cell death.
3. Gain more insight into the process of performing science in academia and require skills for developing into a successful scientist.
