Course objectives
The seminar is focused on the recent topics in the field of biophysics. The seminar consists of lectures and seminars held by scientists not only from Czech Rep. but also from abroad. The students are expected to present a selected scientific article to the topic of a given seminar.

The main objective of the course is to provide the students with
- possibility to list the actual problems in biophysics, via lectures of both local and international experts in the field
- ability to formulate an excerpt from a scientific work, via active presentation of a particular journal article
