Program Overview

Experimental Molecular Biology Module

Overview

The Experimental Molecular Biology module is a project-based course that focuses on the central concepts of molecular biology, techniques used in research and industry, and transgenic techniques. Students will learn to design relevant recombinant biotechnological products, including safety issues.

Learning Objectives

Knowledge

• Account for the central molecular biology concepts
• Describe molecular biology techniques used in research and industry
• Account for transgenic techniques and design of relevant recombinant biotechnological products, including safety issues

Skills

• Write a project report following the standards of the field of study, including relevant original scientific literature, using the correct terminology, and communicating the research-based foundation and problem and results in writing, graphically, and orally in a professionally reasoned and coherent way
• Assess and select relevant original scientific literature and current scientific methods, models, and other tools used in the project, and assess the problem of the project and results in relevant scientific contexts and social conditions

Competences

• Handle the planning, implementation, and management of complex and unpredictable research and/or developmental tasks, and take professional responsibility to implement academic assignments and interdisciplinary collaborations
• Take responsibility for own professional development and specialization
