Annotation -
The course is of experimental nature, within which students continue experimental work initiated in the course Laboratory of Biotechnology I. They deepen their theoretical knowledge in a defined area, or they acquire other methodologies associated with the specified topic. Students continue with systematic experimental work and they participate in the direction of research activities and the strategies to address them. During the work, students will deepen their knowledge of methodologies for the collection and processing of experimental data, they will learn to evaluate it by appropriate ways and to compare it with the published literature and to defend them in the form of presentation and discussion.

Course completion requirements -

Independent scientific experimental work on a chosen topic, resulting in a text in the format of an original scientific article. Typically, work within a wider laboratory team on a complex topic, following previous research, sharing data, knowledge and skills.

Consultations are carried out individually based on an agreement with the thesis supervisor or consultant.

Last update: Halecký Martin (03.05.2025)
Literature -

Obligatory:

  • Students search for literature on individual topics of the theoretical part of their individual work using databases of peer-reviewed literature (Web by Science, Scopus). Typically, manuals for instruments and methodologies for laboratory experimental work are available in the individual laboratories where the experimental work is performed.

Teaching methods -

Independent experimental work on a chosen topic in collaboration with a supervisor or consultant in the format of consultations on both the content and format of the work. It is also typical to acquire knowledge and skills through cooperation with other students, technical or scientific staff while working on a complex topic.

Requirements to the exam -

The grade for the graded credit is based on the submission of a research paper and its oral defense (presentation and discussion) before a committee.

The final grade is determined by the weighted average of two values: 1. evaluation of the student's laboratory work and the submitted text in the format of an original scientific article by the thesis supervisor (weight 65%) and 2. oral defense of the results (presentation and discussion) before the committee (weight 35%).

Syllabus -

In this course, separate experimental topics are announces by the supervisors from the Faculty of Food and Biochemical Technology. Students will be acquainted with modern laboratory techniques, namely in the following fields: microbiology, biochemistry, immunochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, cell physiology, bioengineering, biotechnology etc. An integral part of the course is the work with original scientific literature, planning and execution of experiments, methods of data processing and presentation of results. Student will evaluate the results and compared with available data in the literature. The output of the course will be presented in the form of a oral presentation.
