Advanced Technologies in Bioscience 5p (Swedish, 7.5 ECTS) is a new course starting academic year 2006-2007 in the Chalmers Graduate School in Bioscience.
Advanced Technologies in Bioscience 5p (Swedish, 7.5 ECTS) is a new course starting academic year 2006-2007 in the Chalmers Graduate School in Bioscience.
It is open to graduate students following a program in the biological sciences/engineering. The course focuses on state-of-the-art or emerging technologies in bioscience that have had, or are expected to have, major impact in areas such as bio-diagnostics, biotechnology, bioinformatics, systems biology, pharmaceutics, clinical science and therapies.
Experimental as well as theoretical technologies are highlighted in individual "themes", where each theme includes a theme leader, invited keynote lecturer either responsible for the development of the technology or major user of the technology, review of invited lecturers publications, interview session with the keynote lecturer, lectures and laboratory visits on the principles and mechanisms underlying the technology, and student group work focused on relevant aspects of the technology in focus (eg. ethical issues, application areas of the technology, identification of industries using the technology, impact of the technology on society).
We aim to hold four themes per year. Students are expected to participate in, and successfully complete, 4 themes over a 2-year period in order to receive the 5 points for the course. Register for each theme separately. This course is required for the licentiate and doctoral degrees in Bioscience at Chalmers.
