Topic 2027: Fungal resistance mechanisms to antifungal substances in medicine and agriculture
+ Selected current topics based on molecular genetics and molecular biology;
+ selected methods in molecular biology to study antifungal resistance;
Supervisors will work with the students on the background and basis of the selected topic. They will also structure, feedback and help the students to prepare the presentation. For the preparation of the seminar presentation, students receive individual support and possibility to discuss their presentation drafts with the topic supervisors.
Preparatory meeting ca. 1 month before the presentation day
At the seminar day, the ppt presentation of a selected topic based on scientific papers and other resources should be given by the student to the other participating students and supervisors in English language;
The preparatory meeting will be held online. Please see dates for the zoom meeting in the details below.
- Previous knowledge expected
-
solid basic knowledge in molecular biology, genetics and cell biology is essential
- Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)
-
LEARNING OUTCOMES: Students will improve their knowledge on basic moleclar biology methods with their experimental appraoches, strenghts and limitations of the results. Students will increase their competence in reading and understanding original scientific literature, to critically discuss with experienced supervisors and to exercise an oral presentation (in English language)
