FBB3610 Current Topics in Glycoscience II 3.0 credits

Seminars each week (1 student presentation/occasion) where the presenting student prepares a presentation and explain the background, results and implications of recently published findings. This is followed by active discussions with the audience, where the participants are expected to critically discuss the validity of the results and implications.

The participants should gain increasing knowledge in critically interpreting, presenting and discussing relevant scientific literature in Glycoscience, both their own results and those published by other groups in international research journals.
The participants should be able to identify relevant scientific literature, critically assess the experimental results, and discuss the implications in the specific field and in the larger scientific context.
The participants should be able to present and discuss the scientific results to an audience of researchers and PhD students, including persons whose research does not necessarily relate to the specific topics and areas presented.

Participants should be enrolled as post-graduate students at the former KTH School of Biotechnology.

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 give 2 seminars each and participate in 80% of scheduled sessions during two terms.
