Molecular Biology

The aim of this course is to provide the students of a solid background in Molecular biology. Beside the description of basic processes such as DNA replication and repair, transcription, translation, a part of the course will be devoted to examples of regulation of these processes.
In addition, the students will acquaint with the principles of basic molecular biology techniques and basic knowledge on genome-wide approaches and post-genomic analyses that will be further developed in future courses to prepare for professional development in advanced biotechnology.

At the end of the course, the student will acquire the following skills:
- Understanding the complexity of the information flux from genes to proteins.
- Ability to comprehend and interpret data related to biomolecular processes investigated with large-scale approaches.
- Development of an aptitude to deal with the continuous advancements of molecular biology, a discipline in continuous expansion
- Ability to transfer the acquired molecular biology knowledge to related problems in the frame of the multiple biotechnology applications.
