53476-01 - Seminar: Topics in Host-Parasite Interactions (2 CP)
| Semester | spring semester 2019 |
| Course frequency | Once only |
| Lecturers | Hans-Peter Beck (hans-peter.beck@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | This lecture is for MSc and PhD students with interest in molecular and cellular infection biology and compulsory for MSc students 'Infection Biology'. We expect that participants have a solid understanding of the fields of molecular biology, infection biology and immunology. Each year, there will be a new selection of topics (approximately seven per semester) on host and parasite interactions. Students study, present and discuss selected papers before attending guest lectures. They engage in problem-based learning activities, literature reviews, etc. and present their findings in the plenary session. Discussions with the authors of selected papers are strongly encouraged. |
| Learning objectives | To apply and deepen the background knowledge of infection biology by analyzing, presenting and commenting on recently published papers; to recognize actual research questions and understand the approaches that may lead to answering them; to improve skills in critical reviewing research topics and information retrieval using available online tools, and to participate in scientific discussions. |
| Bibliography | will be provided at the beginning of the course |
| Comments | Methods: Problem-based learning assignments, guest lectures and presentations of recent publications by students |
