Objectives of the Course Providing students with the experience of realization of a scientific project
Making students being able to solve a complex scientific problem in an interdisciplinary environment
Encouraging students to work individually or as a member of a scientific team
Course Content This course provides an opportunity for students to engage in high-level inquiry focusing on an area of specialization within the scope of molecular biology and genetics. It could be a follow-up course of MBG463 with the continuation of the same project or a new individual or team based project could be developed under the supervision of a faculty member. Hypothesis, methods, results and discussion of the scientific data are expected to be included in a properly formatted and referenced scientific paper written by the student.
