Course objectives
The goal of the MU Life Sciences Seminar is to become an ongoing prestigious seminar series at UKB in the interconnected and complementary fields, collectively called "Life Sciences". The seminar series, expanding already successfully implemented CEITEC Structural Biology Seminar Series, is focused on currently growing fields, which combine modern methods of biophysics, computational modelling, imaging, biochemistry and molecular biology with "more classical" disciplines such as microbiology, cell biology, physiology, genetics, toxicology, developmental and evolutionary biology and medicine. Purpose: The purpose of the seminar series is to (i) invite to Brno renowned speakers from abroad to establish and develop professional contacts, (ii) create a Seminar Series of excellence, which will inspire and motivate both scientists and students at MU, and (iii) finally, to promote mutual contacts and interaction between individual labs/departments working at UKB. This seminar series includes the Mendel lectures. Community: All Departments and PhD programs, whose research encompass “Life Sciences” and are situated at UKB, are very welcome to join the Seminar Series. Format: One hour talk takes place each Thursday during the semester at 15:00 in lecture hall 114/A11, followed by happy hour for the audience at the bridge of A35 pavilion or outside the pavilion A11 (weather depended). Host (a person, which nominated the speaker) together with the administrator are responsible to arrange the program of visit for the speaker with the aim to maximize the interaction with interested local scientists.
Syllabus
  • The actual program changes every semester and is based on lectures of invited experts.
Teaching methods
Seminar; Lecture & presentation
Assessment methods
Attendance on seminar required. The number of attendances depends on the study program: Molecular and cell biology - 4 lectures, General and molecular genetics - 4 lectures, Animal physiology - 6 lectures, Ecotoxicology - 5 lectures, Biochemistry - 4 lectures, Microbiology - 3 lectures. Students of other study programs need to attend a minimum of 60 % of Life Sciences lectures. It is possible to substitute an absence by attending a Mendel lecture.
