Course content
|
Presentations of research institutions and groups focusing on various areas of biochemistry and bioinformatics. The seminar will provide students with an overview of current trends in biochemical and bioinformatics research, the experimental and computational approaches used, and career opportunities for graduates in both academic and applied research. Emphasis will also be placed on introducing specific research topics and opportunities for students to become involved in research activities. Students will thus gain a general understanding of potential Bachelor's thesis topics, prospective supervisors, and the institutions where they may carry out their Bachelor's thesis in the following academic year.

Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the seminar is to introduce second-year students of the Bachelor's degree program in Biochemistry to various areas of current biochemical and bioinformatics research and to present the research institutions and groups where they may carry out their Bachelor's thesis in the future. The seminar will provide students with an overview of potential areas of specialisation, research topics, and methods used in different fields of biochemistry and bioinformatics. The seminar will also introduce potential Bachelor's thesis topics and the institutions offering them. Its aim is to support students in deciding on their future academic specialisation and to facilitate their choice of a Bachelor's thesis topic and supervisor.
Obtaining an overview and information about workplaces in various areas of biochemistry. Introducing the listed topics of the bachelor's thesis. Repetition and practice of knowledge acquired by completing the KBC/BCH lecture (Fundamentals of Biochemistry). Studying information on biochemical topics from the list for the biochemistry exam, their clear processing and presentation. Increasing the competitiveness of graduates on the labor market, strengthening self-confidence, teamwork and the ability to present the assigned topic.
