A Problem-based Approach to Cellular Biochemistry
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:28:55
Abstract
Independent, guided acquisition of an overview over a defined area of research, identification of important open questions, development of an experimental strategy to address a defined question, and formulation of this strategy within the framework of a research grant.
Objective
The students will learn to acquire independently an overview over a defined area of research, and to identify important open questions. In addition, they will learn to develop an experimental strategy to address a defined question, and to formulate this strategy within the framework of a research grant.
Content
The students will work in groups of two to three, in close contact with a tutor (a group leader from the Institute of Biochemistry). The overview and the small research grant will be developed independently by the students, with guidance from the tutor (regular meetings are mandatory). The students will write up both the overview and the grant in short reports, and present them to their colleagues.
Resources
Literature
The identification of appropriate literature is a component of the course.
