The course consists of three modules: Module 1. Theory, 8 ECTS. The module addresses molecular processes which control growth, structure and function of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. It focusses on the flow of genetic information according to the Central dogma, in particular regulation of transcription, translation, and DNA replication. Basic prokaryotic genetics, including transfer of genetic material, bacterial physiology including resistance mechanisms for antibiotics are also covered.
Module 2. Laborations 5 ECTS. The module offers training in microbiological and molecular biology work methodology.
Module 3. Practical Professional Training professionell (PPT) - Oral presentation, 2 ECTS. The module offers training in finding, reading, discussing and presenting scientific original literature in Microbiology and Molecular Biology.
