Teaching methods

Video lectures, other video material, self-correcting quizzes to each module, online exercises (problem-based computer exercises) related to each module material, teamwork-based project work aimed at solving a biological problem related to all course modules resulting in a poster, online presentation of poster via a pre-recorded video, peer-review of posters.

International connections

During the course, you will do project work in groups, which requires applying theory and acquired computational skills to solve a practical task that imitates real-life applied projects in the field of Structural Bioinformatics with a focus on Biomedicine. When possible, an external expert from the industry will be invited to evaluate the students' video presentations and provide them with feedback.
