Entry requirements
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Prerequisites
Biochemistry 2Intended learning outcomes
After the course the student know how to:
- plan and experimentally execute a project in gene technology
- plan and experimentally execute a project in protein characterization
- plan and execute a larger laboratory intensive group project with different individual roles
- understand and evaluate experimentally determined data through critical thinking of scientific literature and available experimental data
The student has also achieved comprehensive practical experience of methods in molecular biology as well as in biological measurements.
Course content
The experimental part is based on earlier knowledge from courses in Biochemistry. The main part of this course is experimental and will give insights in modern experimental techniques in molecular biology and biological measurements.
Teaching and working methods
The course runs the entire semester, and should be taken in parallel with TFKE38 and TFKE37 during HT1. The course is divided into two separate project exercises, one in protein characterization (UPG1) and one individually assigned project in gene technology (UPG2). Both projects are laboratory intensive and are presented as written reports for each project. In the laboratory course (LAB1) a larger project in molecular biology is performed in group with individual roles for the group members. The laboratory course is examined both orally and as a written report.
Please note that the courses TFKE37, TFKE38 and TFKE60 are not scheduled to a specific timetable module during Ht1, instead they share timetable modules 1+2+3. As a result, these courses are difficult to combine with other courses.
