11014-01 - Block course: Nanoscience (24 KP)
| Schedule | Each semester |
| Content | The courses offer students the opportunity to explore nanoscience through hands-on experimentation. |
| Remarks | Block courses are held during the 5th and 6th semesters. The courses, which take place during the regular semester, last 3 weeks and are held in the afternoons. In addition, one-week intensive courses are offered during the semester breaks, which run all day. There are currently 35 block courses to choose from. Students must complete 8 of them (4 per semester). The block courses are held once or several times a year. Detailed information is announced at the beginning of each semester. A total of at least 2 intensive courses must be attended. Each student must give a 15-minutes presentation and design a poster during a block course in the spring semester. These presentations are organized by the students themselves in the form of a scientific conference (SmallTalk) with a poster exhibition. |

15920-01 - Block course: Structural Biology and Biophysics (15 KP)
| Schedule | Fall semester |
| Content | This block course will enable students to glean deep insight into the nanoscopic world of biomolecules that drive functional cellular processes. Here, you will gain a fundamental understanding of the cutting-edge computational tools, experimental methods and quantitative analytical techniques being used to resolve biomolecular structures and their interactions correlated across atomic, molecular and cellular length scales. This course consists of three main themes: protein design, theoretical concepts and experimental research. First, students will be introduced to AI-based structural prediction and protein design. Second, you will participate in lectures to learn about the theoretical underpinnings of structural biology and biophysical methods. Third, all students will carry out weekly research projects using different combinations of methods and analyses. As a bonus, students will build and test their own designer proteins. Topics - computational tools including AI-based structure prediction - protein design, expression and purification - atomic force microscopy - cryo-electron microscopy and tomography - X-ray crystallography - nuclear magnetic resonance - surface plasmon resonance - isothermal calorimetry - mass photometry |
| Remarks | For biology students only Limited number of places Compulsory attendance |
