Biomolecules and cells form the basis of all life on earth. In Biomolecular Sciences, we aim at a fundamental understanding of molecules and cells, e.g. on how these building blocks work together to make life possible and on how dysfunction can lead to disease.
The Biomolecular Sciences Minor consist of five courses, with 6 EC each. In the introductory theoretical course, students will gain insight into ongoing research in Cell Biology, learning how pivotal experiments were planned, conducted and their results were interpreted. A parallel course focuses on antibiotic resistance and new discovery, a key global medical issue. In the three subsequent courses students will gain hands-on experience in the laboratory and join on-going research on proteins, metabolomics and (microbial) cells.
