FB1 : Fundamentals of Biotechnology I
Description
This teaching unit (UE) is intended to provide knowledge in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, and Microbiology. Students have to acquire a strong background concerning the fundamentals of analytical biochemistry, gene expression in both procaryotes and eukaryotes, and the basis in microbiology.
Compétences visées
This course aims at confronting the student with the fundamental principles of molecular biology in prokaryotes and zooms in on the structure-function relationship of DNA and chromosomes with regards to transcription and gene regulation. Relevant basic terminology is introduced and general concepts and principles are presented. An important aim is to bring insight into gene structure, gene expression and gene regulation, including the differences between pro- and eukaryotes.
