Molecular Microbiology

Course description

Content

This course will place special emphasis on the molecular mechanisms underlying bacterial stress physiology, which is essential for bacterial survival in the environment, and thereby tolerance and resistance to antibiotics. The topics will be discussed in lectures given by researchers and also in theoretical excises (i.e. colloquium), where in-depth discussion of recent research articles will be presented by the participants with guidance from the instructors. Finally, in the laboratory exercise part, relevant critical and cutting-edge techniques will be used to investigate research problems that we currently study in the laboratory.

Recommended academic qualifications
