After this project you are able to:
- correctly apply various biochemical and analytical techniques and properly record the obtained results in a laboratory notebook
- correctly interpret the results and clearly summarize it in a written report and present it orally to an interested audience
- create an efficient planning for the implementation of an experiment so that it can be successfully completed within the available time
- seek relevant information from scientific sources and refer to it in accordance with the defined standards
- cooperate in a good way with other group members to obtain an efficient approach and distribution of tasks within the group
- reflect in a proper way on how you function within the group

- During this project biochemical experiments will be carried out that relate to: the function of cells, cell organelles, proteins (enzymes), DNA and RNA
- The project covers several experimental techniques, such as microscopy, centrifugation, UV-VIS spectroscopy, chromatography (protein separation) and gel electrophoresis
- The project will start with a library module, during which the use of various information sources for finding scientific data will be discussed
- The experiments will be performed in couples, who need to work closely together during the project
Instructional Modes
|
|
|
| Biochemistry (NWI-MOL008A). Knowledge of biology at high school level is desirable. This is a course in the theme 'Lab and research skills'. |
|
| The final assessment takes place on account of theoretical and practical preparation, displayed skills and collaboration with other group members, the quality of registration and interpretation of the acquired experimental data in the lab notebook and report and how well it is presented during the final presentations (poster and oral presentation). |
|
In the case of not being able to attend one or more practical courses/lab days due to corona measures, the course coordinator will decide if the student is obligated to re-take the missed meeting and how this will take place.
