Genetics:
​
Course Description: Genetics is a basic part of biotechnology, and there is a high demand of specialist that can transform genes to efficient drugs. For teaching, we will use an approach that emphasizes the application of genetics. The students will learn how to read scientific articles; for example:” Shark antibodies may target breast cancer” (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news /uk-scotland- north- east-orkney -shetland -24259939). They will be encouraged to construct questions to understand the text. The questions will be clarified by a combined approach of presentation and homework’s. Once the questions have been answered, the obtained knowledge will be enhanced further by assessments to the students.
​
Course Objectives: The students will learn about genetic information and to manipulate genes to develop new drugs or other important products. Upon completing this course the students will have a basic knowledge of genetic topics. This course provides the foundation for understanding deeply the background of bioscience in the current century.
