Course content
|
An introduction to research laboratories and groups focusing on various areas of biochemistry and bioinformatics. The seminar will provide students with an overview of current trends in biochemistry 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 presenting specific research topics and opportunities for students to participate in research. Students will thus gain a basic understanding of possible topics for their bachelor's theses, potential advisors, and research units where they can carry out their bachelor's thesis in the coming academic year.

Learning outcomes
|
The goal of the seminar is to familiarize second-year students in the Biochemistry/Bioinformatics bachelor's program with various areas of current biochemical and bioinformatics research and to introduce them to research laboratories and groups where they may conduct their bachelor's thesis in the future. The seminar will provide students with an overview of possible areas of specialization, research topics, and methods used in various fields of biochemistry and bioinformatics. The seminar also includes a presentation of potential bachelor's thesis topics and the research units that offer these topics. The goal is to support students in deciding on their future specialization and to help them choose a topic and an advisor for their bachelor's thesis.
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.
