01
Course 1

Cell Biology

This course introduces you to the complex world of cells, the most basic units of life. We will explore how they grow, move, respond to, and interact with their environment.

What you’ll learn
  • Cell membranes – including the basic structure and function of cell membranes, as well as plasma membrane channels and transporter proteins.
  • Organelles – including an overview of organelle structure and function, endocytosis and intracellular transport, and organelle biogenesis.
  • Genetics of cell biology – including an overview of cell division, the mitochondrial genome, gene expression, post-transcriptional regulation, and cell cycle checkpoints.
  • Cell dynamics – including cell motility, adhesion, and invasion, EMT/MET, and the relationship between dynamics and cell signalling.
  • Cell communication – including the basics of signalling pathways and signal transduction, and intercellular, intracellular, and extracellular signalling.
  • Cell metabolism – including the basics of normal metabolism, and the metabolism of cells under stress, as well as cancer cells.

Course 2

Molecular Biology Techniques

This course is a beginner’s guide to the various experimental techniques used in molecular biology research. To conduct laboratory research in molecular biology, a researcher must be proficient in basic wet lab techniques. This course provides practical guidance on the key concepts behind these techniques and teaches learners how to perform them in laboratory settings.

What you’ll learn
  • The basic concepts underlying various molecular biology techniques.
  • How to prepare bacterial cell cultures, perform transformations, and screen transformants.
  • How to isolate nucleic acids from different sources and their purification techniques.
  • An overview of analytical techniques, including protein and nucleic acid sequencing.
  • The role of recombinant DNA technology in advancing animal and plant biotechnology.

Course 3

Principles of Biochemistry

This course introduces the principles of biochemistry, beginning with the biological building blocks of cells and progressing to fundamental metabolic signalling cascades, exploring how these pathways can be utilised in cancer therapy.

What you’ll learn
  • Understand the basics of protein structure and protein folding.
  • Appreciate the many different sources of energy for cell metabolism.
  • Be able to draw enzymatic reactions.
  • Gain an insight into key biochemical reactions in the cells.
  • Become familiar with key cell signalling pathways.
  • Understand the importance of cell biochemistry in cancer therapy.

Common questions

Will I receive a certificate for each course?

Yes. You will receive an individual CPD-accredited certificate for each successfully completed course. Once you have completed all courses in the programme, you will also receive an additional CBEHx Professional Certificate recognising the full learning pathway and its combined CPD learning hours. Read more in the Support Centre

Are the courses CPD-accredited?

Yes. Each course included in the programme is individually CPD-accredited. The additional consolidated Professional Certificate is issued by CBEHx and records the courses completed and their combined CPD learning hours. Read more in the Support Centre

Can my previous learning count?

No. Courses purchased or completed individually before enrolling in a Professional Certificate Programme do not count towards its requirements. To receive the consolidated CBEHx Professional Certificate, you must purchase the complete programme and successfully complete all included courses, or complete the requirements through an eligible annual subscription. Previously awarded individual course certificates remain valid. Read more in the Support Centre

Can I buy courses individually?

Yes. All constituent courses remain available for individual purchase. However, courses purchased individually do not count towards a Professional Certificate Programme, and individual purchases do not include the consolidated Professional Certificate. To earn it, purchase the complete programme or meet the requirements through an eligible annual subscription. Read more in the Support Centre

How long can I access the courses?

Standalone Professional Certificate purchases provide 12 months of course access from enrolment, subject to the published terms. If you access the courses through a subscription, access continues while your subscription remains active. Certificates already earned remain valid after access ends. Read more in the Support Centre
