Aim
The aim of the course is to familiarize the students with state-of-the-art biotechnology at the molecular level, and the use of biotechnology in bio-medico research and development. It is also the aim of the course to introduce the students to project and experiment planning and analysis through theoretical exercises.
Contents
The course is organised in two parts. Part one: A number of published "case-projects" within the fields of Genomics, Proteomics, Bioinformatics, Nucleic Acid Related Biotech, Protein Related Biotech, and Stem Cell & Tissue Related Biotech will be presented in a series of lectures and the underlying technologies considered in a series of student seminars. The student seminars shall require a high degree of active participation of the students. Part two: In the second part of the course the student are to plan and conduct a "virtual" biotech project from a given theme. The course is finished by the submission of a project-thesis.
