CB2050 Project in molecular life science 7.5 credits

CB2050 is centered on a project carried out in a research lab (at SciLifeLab or elsewhere). The course also includes 3 lectures and 3 individual project meetings. 

Information on projects

Projects can be arranged by students with the following basic criteria listed below. A list of supervisors looking for project students will be provided in August. Project proposals for self arranged projects are due mid-October. The course leader will present the course to prospective students in August.

• Project subject:

    - Should address cutting-edge methods in the life sciences.

    - Projects should include practical components (lab, data analysis and/or bioinformatic).

    - The project proposal should include a sketch plan (1 pg 10 wk project)

    - The project plan should be self-contained and achievable in 10 weeks

   NB: Project proposals will be reviewed to determine that they meet these requisites.

• Supervisor: (e.g. PhD Student, Postdoc, PI or Researcher) who will meet with students at least 5 times (>20 min per meeting) during the project (preferably once per week). 

The course includes planning, implementation, reporting and presentation of a research-related project in molecular life sciences.

After passing the course, the student should be able to:

1. Explain relevant methods in molecular life sciences
2. Explain and discuss the choice of methods
3. Participate in a project in molecular life science in a skilled manner
4. oral and in written form present results obtained from the project in molecular life science
5. interpret results obtained from the project in molecular life science
6. Reflect on and critically discuss the importance of the results obtained
7. Implement a realistic time plan for a project in molecular life sciences

A bachelor's degree, corresponding to at least 180 ECTS. Courses corresponding to at least 20 ECTS in life science subjects and 10 ECTS in mathematics (or related).
