State-of-the-Art Research Infrastructure in Life Sciences: Complex System of Core Facilities for Biological and Human Medicine Research
The Summer school State of the art infrastructure in life sciences is dedicated to master students of biological and biochemistry sciences who are interested in modern approaches to experimental research and practical applications of recent findings in this field.
Course leader
doc. Mgr. Pavel Plevka, Ph.D.
Target group
Bachelor, master or PhD students of biochemistry/biology/medicine are preferred, no other pre-requisites than enthusiasm and deep interest are required.
Course aim
The lectures from the experts will cover many different topics of structural biology research from protein engineering, computer simulations, data processing, plant cell, and developmental biology, as well as cytogenetics, proteomics, and neurosciences. You will gain knowledge about structural biology, imaging and microscopy, protein characterization by mass spectrometry, cryo-electron microscopy, NMR spectroscopy methods, and multimodal and functional imaging during a presentation by each of the Core Facility labs represented at the University Campus.
The Summer School will be held in the CEITEC MU (https://muni.ceitec.cz/en/) building E35 and Core Facility labs covering different methodological approaches in structural biology.
