Annotation -
An interactive course focused on current research trends in the areas of biochemical and microbiological research with emphasis on topical and fundamental discoveries and new, state-of-the-art experimental strategies. The course consists of independent lectures on subjects inspired by recent publications in top journals, followed by facilitated discussions. Specific topics of lectures are not usually repeated year-round, teachers select them based on the progress in relevant scientific fields. Lectures are prepared and delivered by students under the guidance of teachers; the lectures on selected topics will be delivered by invited experts. In the introductory lecture, the students are acquainted with the lecture topics plan, which may be a subject to modification based on the discussions of the proposals from the students. The sessions can be organized in semester weeks or as a block "miniconference".
