FBB3200 Current Topics in High Throughput Biology 1 3.0 credits

One seminar each week (1 student presentation/occasion and two co-readers) where the students (presenters) explain background, results and implications of recently published findings, followed by active discussions, initiated by questions and comments from the co-readers and then the rest of the audience.

A listing of all articles presented and discussed is made.

Feed-back on presentations (pedagogics and content) should preferably be given by main supervisor and/or other senior scientists

Course aims:

The participants should gain knowledge in reading, interpreting and presenting results, published by other groups in international research journals, to an audience of researchers and PhD students that include persons whose research does not necessarily relate to the specific topics and areas presented.

For whom:

PhD students (post graduate students)

Individually selected for each student

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

The students will have give at least 1 seminar each and be co-reader to at least 2 other students’ seminars and participate in at least 80% of scheduled sessions during the two terms.
