BIO-8305: Research frontiers in molecular and structural biology Omfang
10 studiepoeng | Mål
Formålet med kurset er å gi studentene innsikt i hva som til enhver
tid kan regnes som forskningsfronten innen fagfeltene som kurset
dekker. | Innhold
The course will cover topics of current interest in molecular and structural biology and is designed for PhD fellows at the PhD school in molecular and structural biology, but other PhD students who are seeking state-of-the art research strategies and methods are welcome. The course is divided into two major sections of two weeks duration. Each section consists of lectures from resident faculties and other invited speakers, discussions and demonstrations/tutorials. The first section covers structural biology including bioinformatics and RNomics. The research groups of this section are devoted to the study of (I) Bioinformatics for assemble, annotation and mining genomes (II) Modelling and drug design (III) structural-functional studies; (IV) RNA biology. The second section is focused on molecular biology. This section consists of research groups that are dedicated to the study of (V) Molecular and biological aspects of Systemic lupus erythematosus. (SLE) and SLE nephritis (VI) Study of transcription factor function by molecular genetics and use of zebrafish as a model system. VII) Gene expression: a journey from the cell membrane to the nucleus, and (VIII) Molecular characterization and functional role(s) of specific protein-protein interactions in intracellular signal transduction and transcriptional regulation. | Undervisning
