Course content
"Laboratory Workshop" is a discipline that aims to develop students' basic skills and abilities needed to work in a biophysical laboratory. Within the workshop students learn the basic principles of biological experimentation, application of biophysical research methods to solve specific scientific and practical problems, as well as experiments in related sciences and interdisciplinary projects which require knowledge, skills and abilities of the biophysical approach.
