Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
The capacity limit for the course is 25 student(s).
Current registration and enrolment status: enrolled: 0/25, only registered: 0/25, only registered with preference (fields directly associated with the programme): 0/25
Course objectives
This practise will be organized in the small groups of students and will focus on structural biology. At the end of this course, the students will be able independently to design experiments, conduct measurements and interpret data. They will learn how to critically access and communicate the results. During the journal clubs, students will learn interesting news from the field.
Syllabus
