Course Description
The main aim of the internship is that the student gains general work experience, practical training in biology-related work, and creates contacts with potential future employers. Students get to know a workplace that specializes in research or biological applications and they are expected to participate in the every-day routines of the workplace. A supervisor at the workplace is responsible for organizing the student's work during the work period. Daily work should be planned in advance together with the supervisor. The workplace must be approved by the course leader. By the end of the course, the work is reported by a written report as well as an oral presentation.

Course Description
This course introduces molecular genetic principles, starting with basic properties of genes and genomes and extending to the complex, hierarchical interactions, fundamental to living organisms. It examines the ways molecular genetics is applied to the analysis of complex systems, including advances that reveal basic features of gene regulation during cell growth and differentiation, and in response to a changing environment, as well as developments that are more related to commercial and medical applications. The course focuses on genetic foundations, chromatin and chromosomes, genomics, genome maintenance, and gene regulation and analysis. Topics include Mendelian and non-Mendelian inheritance; transformation, transduction, and conjugation; recombination and complementation; mutational analysis; genetic mapping and linkage; karyotypes; translocations, inversions, deletions, and duplications; aneuploidy and polyploidy structure; genome structure; physical mapping; repeated DNA and gene families; gene identification; transposable elements; DNA replication, damage, repair, modification, recombination, and gene conversion; cis-acting regulatory elements; trans-acting regulatory factors; gene rearrangements and amplifications; genetic manipulation of bacteria (transposons and plasmids); and the human genome project.

This course introduces students to the main features of the immune system, the innate immune system, and the specific immune system. Students learn about recognition of microbes by the specific immune system and how the immune system protects against different pathogens. They also learn how the immune system can itself cause disease, for example in allergy or autoimmune diseases, and the consequences of a deficient immune system.

Course Description
Students who complete a term paper are awarded one extra unit for each part. Total units possible for both parts are eight. The course focuses on the fundamental concepts that define the organization and metabolism of prokaryotes as well as the main phylogenetic and physiological correlations of Bacteria and Archaea in natural environments and in biotechnological applications. Emphasis is placed on basic concepts of virus structure and replication as well as bacterial growth and exchanges of genetic material between prokaryotic cells in order to understand the recombination mechanisms. The course has two parts: A and B. Students must take both parts. No partial credit is possible. Part A is devoted to microbiology. Topics in Part A include basic principles of microbiology; principles of microscopy; evolutionary history and microbial diversity; structure and functions of prokaryotic cell; metabolism, regulation, and growth of microbial; phototrophy, chemolithtrophy, and major biosynthesis; catabolism of organic compounds; symbiosis and pathogenicity; antimicrobial agents; and groups of pathogenic bacteria. Part B is devoted to virology. Topics in Part B include structure, composition, and classification of animal, plant, and bacterial viruses; genome, capsid, and viral envelope, and structure-function relationship; different entry mechanisms of viruses into host cells (bacteriophages, plant and animal viruses); different steps in viral replication cycle; virus-cell interactions, outcomes of infection, and cultivation and quantification of viruses; and replication strategies of RNA viruses, DNA viruses, and retroviruses such as HIV and AIDS. Assessment is based on a written exam with essay and multiple-choice questions covering the two parts, the assigned readings, and the biotechnology section.
