The main goal of the course is to teach students the fundaments of modern instrumental techniques like mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, optical and electron microscopy, surface plasmon resonance and their applications in biochemistry. microbiology and other biological sciences. Introductory lectures cover methods of visualisation of biomolecules, computational methods and work with databases.

Students will be able to: They will get an overview of modern analytical techniques common nowadays in biological sciences. They will learn the fundaments of each method and possible applications in life sciences. They will also be able to process and use experimental data from each instrumental method in their own work.
