| Course Objectives | The Course goal is to explain and classify the main concepts and fundamental processes of molecular biology. The aim is to develop understanding of general principles of Central dogma and regulatory mechanisms of gene expression, together with basic technical skills used in molecular biology. Overall aim is to provide general education at the molecular level in order to prepare students for following related courses in Genetics and Bioengineering. |
