Molecular infection biology
This course addresses molecular aspects of infection biology from a broad perspective, covering for example:
- Different microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi and archaea.
- Interactions between microorganisms and well as between microorganism and its host.
- Methods used to study these organism and interactions.
The course is tailored for a broad audience and will include translational aspects. The course is built up by lectures and seminars by invited speakers presenting their current research in molecular infection biology. The speakers will give a basic introduction to their field, present their own research and discuss that in the context of the field as a whole. Part of the lectures will be online videos. The lectures will cover e.g. virome, bacterial microbiome, parasites, polymicrobial interactions, the susceptibility and the response of the host to infections, and the molecular and physiological events leading to the clearance of microbes or a diseased state.
This course is given to show students how to take inspiration from several different disciplines and techniques and apply it to their own infection biology research. Students will be given examples of cutting edge technologies and how they are applied across a broad range of infection biology fields and encouraged to think about how these techniques can be translated to new applications.
The teaching and learning activities will be; lectures, group discussions, online videos, analyses of scientific papers and the preparation and presentation of an individual project.
