Aim and content Learning objectives A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: 1. Describe the state-of-the-art for research into proteins, stem cells, metabolism, and bioengineering 2. Review topics of interest within these research areas 3. Discuss important questions within these research areas 4. Develop ideas for collaborative projects within these research areas Content Recent rapid and extraordinary technological advances in molecular and cellular biology have led to unprecedented understanding of biomedicine and biotechnology. Translating this knowledge into new clinical procedures, treatments and bioprocesses requires a deeper understanding of disease-related proteins and their function, stem cell biology, metabolic regulation, and cell factory design. The course brings together a group of experienced researchers to introduce a broad spectrum of research in biomedicine and biotechnology. The course has a focus on current research using cellular, molecular, and computational approaches to investigate proteins, stem cells, metabolism and synthetic biology. Students will be introduced to the expertise and excellence in these research fields in the Greater Copenhagen area through interaction with leading scientists. The course will encourage participants to develop interdisciplinary and collaborative research ideas. Participants Ph. D. –level students with a B.Sc. and/or M.Sc. degree in any biological science or chemistry are eligible to apply. The course is limited to 35 participants. Relevance to graduate programmes The course is relevant to PhD students from the following graduate programmes at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences, UCPH: Basic Metabolic Research Molecular Mechanisms of Disease Language English Form Students will participate in interactive seminars given by researchers from the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research, the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research and the Novo Nordisk Foundation Danish Stem Cell Center at the University of Copenhagen; and the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability at the Technical University of Denmark. The seminars will allow time for questions and discussion. Students will write an essay about their interest in three of the laboratories presented: why they find the research area interesting, what the principal questions are, and what the unifying factor is. Assessment will be based on the essay and participation at the seminars.
