Prerequisites:
Bachelor's degree in BMB or Biomedicine.

Academic preconditions:
None

Course introduction
In this course, students will get acquainted with the main research areas at BMB, including the latest developments related to the topics: RNA biology, cell signaling and differentiation as well as with various -omics technologies.

Qualifications
Students gain a thorough knowledge of the biological research areas at BMB as well as the technologies that are being used and developed at the institute. Students will also be able to analyze and evaluate primary research in the fields of RNA biology, cell signaling and differentiation and -omics technologies through critical reviewing of original articles.

Expected learning outcome
After completing the course, students are expected to:

  1. Identify and analyze links across research areas at BMB.
  2. Assess and reflect on the use of methods and relevant model systems to study specific biological problems.
  3. Define own theories, hypotheses and experimental approaches for addressing specific biological questions in RNA biology, cell signaling and differentiation and -omics areas.
Subject overview
The following topics will be discussed:

  • RNA biology: impact on health and disease.
  • Post-transcriptional regulation in different organisms - from bacteria to humans.
  • Methods and techniques in RNA biology, including RNA sequencing and RNA interference.
  • Principles of eukaryotic cell signaling and cellular differentiation.
  • Post-translational regulation of cell signaling and differentiation.
  • Aberrant signaling processes in human diseases.
  • Methods and techniques in various aspects of cell signaling and differentiation, including "genome-wide sequencing techniques" and mass spectrometry-based -omics techniques.
