Summary

Integrative Systems Biology - LIFE96018

Aims

To provide an overview over quantitative experimental methodologies and methods for their interpretation in order to study biological processes at the whole system level.

Role

Lecturer

Bioinformatics - LIFE96009

Aims

This course aims to provide a solid theoretical foundation in the algorithms and methods used for computational analysis of macromolecular sequences and structures, complemented by extensive hands-on experience working with the software and data types likely to be encountered in a research project. The programming skills acquired should give students confidence to further extend their bioinformatics skill base through self-directed study.

Role

Course Leader

Protein Science - LIFE95014

Aims

The aim of the course is to provide an understanding by 2nd years students of the relationship between macromolecular structure and function in sufficient detail to place this knowledge in the context of earlier courses in biochemistry and to provide the foundation for the treatment of more advanced topics in the final year. In particular the course aims to give the students insight into how the utilization of advanced analytical techniques can be used to define protein and other biomolecule structure and how this structural insight is used in modern advances in enzymology, protein-ligand interactions and photosynthesis.

Role

Lecturer

Genes and Genomics - LIFE95009

Aims

The aim of this course is to build upon the fundamental molecular biology you learned in MB. The

course will draw upon advances in genomic technology to achieve this. This will mean reenforcing some key concepts without overly repeating what was taught last year. We will also

introduce some new areas to develop your interests and prime you for the final year where some

of you may want to pursue molecular biology-related topics in more depth. The assessment of

this course will reflect these learning outcomes (see below).

This document should be more than a timetable to you. It is your ‘Genes and Genomics Bible’.

Not only does it tell you when and where each teaching session is, but also allows you to

organize your progress in the various coursework elements, tells you what you should already

know from first year teaching and what you should be learning now. Please complete it as you

progress through the course.
