Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Successful mastering of scientific-theoretical and practical material of educational courses taught to students of 1-2 courses of the educational program "Biology" at the "Bachelor" level. 2. Be able to independently apply knowledge of biochemistry, cytology, molecular biology and other disciplines, work with scientific and methodological literature. 3.

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.
