Country:
Netherlands
Institution:
Free University of Amsterdam
Course Title:
Molecular Microbiology
Course Number:
AB_470610
Course Description:
Students following this course will obtain in-depth theoretical knowledge of various microbiological topics, including the techniques applied to investigate those topics. Furthermore, the Laboratory research project will allow students to combine theory and experimental approaches to answer research questions that are related to the topics discussed in the theoretical part of the course. For that purpose, the complex molecular processes in the bacterial cell serve as central theme. The emphasis is on structure and function of the cell envelope, its role in bacterial pathogenesis and vaccine development.
At the end, the students are able to understand and know:
Fundamental molecular processes that are important for growth, functioning and pathogenicity of micro-organisms.
Practical and experimental approaches in molecular microbiology, immunology, bacterial DNA technology, protein techniques.
