The overall objectives for the master courses taught at CSM, and the contact person are given below:
Molecular Medical Microbiology (27253). The objective of the course is to introduce the student to microbial disease mechanisms at the molecular level in the realm of modern molecular biomedical microbiology, and to train the student in the understanding and evaluation of the related scientific litterature (contact Søren Molin).
Molecular Biotechnology (27256). The objective of the course is to introduce the student to molecular biotechnology and its use in biomedicine, industry, and agriculture. To train the students in the understanding and evaluation of the pertaining literature (contact Peter Rudahl Jensen).
Global regulatory networks in microorganisms (27725). After the course, the student should be able to read and present scientific articles, concerning advanced global, intracellular regulatory networks after finding the relevant background material. The student will be able to recall an array of the most common paradigms in global regulation, and will without aid be able to give an overall description of the central mechanisms of the regulatory networks, such as the use of repressors, activators, attenuators, alternative sigma-factors, etc. This description will also include the controlling factors. Additionally, the student will be able to couple the knowledge about regulatory networks to prior knowledge about the basal metabolism of the cell: Departing from a given organism and specific growth conditions, the student will be able to use a goal-directed literature search to define hypotheses about the effect of particular regulatory systems upon the cellular metabolism (contact Jan Martinussen)
Experimental Molecular Biology of Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes (27232). The objective of the course is to provide the student with extensive practical experience in molecular biological, genetic and physiological handling of prokaryotes and eukaryotes (contact Peter Ruhdal Jensen).
Molecular genetics of industrial bacteria (27233). The objective of the course is to give the students practical experience with the most common experimental methods of molecular microbiology, particularly with respect to cloning and analysis of gene expression in industrially relevant bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis and Lactococcus lactis (contact Peter Ruhdal Jensen).
