Learning outcomes |
This Specialized course is for Master and PhD students working in the field of molecular biology (or related areas of experimental biology). The goal is to present advanced methods used in molecular and cell biology research.
Absolvents of this course should be able to understand most of the molecular-biology techniques not only in the scientific field. Students should be able to design experiments independently and serve as an advisors for student from other than molecular-biology fields. |
Prerequisites |
Student should have a good knowledge of basic molecular biology techniques. Further they should be able to orient in the most of the moleculab and developmental biology terms and in basic genetics.
|
Assessment methods and criteria |
Written examination
To pass the practical part of the course, students must attend two selected practical sessions. |
