Course syllabus
Welcome to the joint course page for:
Biomedical Research Methodology (3MR101, 15.0 credits) given to the Master's students in Medical Research
and
Advanced Scientific Research and Methodology (3MK015, 15.0 credits) given to the Master's students in Infection Biology!
The courses aim to provide theoretical knowledge of current biomedical methods and their practical applications during the design, performance, analysis and troubleshooting phases of the research projects.
The courses describe a broad spectrum of molecular biology techniques used in current biomedical research with the aim to give the students a thorough understanding on possibilities and pitfalls of these techniques. The scope of methodology from handling DNA sequences, to protein characterization and analysis at a cellular level shall equip the students with a capacity to understand and apply these methods in future research, and also to be able to critically interpret other researchers´ data.
Teaching is performed in English and consists of lectures, complemented with student activating mandatory education (seminars, journal clubs, assignments and laboratory sessions).
