Syllabus |
The student must attend a set of laboratory courses involving the application of advanced experimental techniques, relevant to their projects, taught by experts.
Available Courses:
ADVANCED COURSE I – Fluorescence microscopy and image analysis; ADVANCED COURSE II – DNA vaccines: from conception to approval; Advanced Course III – Medical structural biology; ADVANCED COURSE IV – "Hands on NMR course for cell metabolic profiling"; ADVANCED COURSE V – Immunological techniques with applications in Biomedicine.
The student also may attend other advanced courses, which are considered relevant for the PhD project, at UBI or at another institution of higher education, since they have a considerable practical component. These courses shall be notified in advance and approved by the Scientific Course Board.
