Learning outcomes
PR07 Be able to apply knowledge of the composition and structure of cells of different biological agents to determine the optimal conditions for cultivation and the potential use of the studied cells in biotechnology. PR08 Be able to isolate from natural substrates and identify microorganisms of different systematic groups. Determine the morphological, cultural and physiological and biochemical properties of various biological agents. PR011 Be able to perform basic genetic and cytological studies to improve and enhance the biosynthetic capacity of biological agents, taking into account the principles of biosafety, biosecurity and bioethics (induced mutagenesis using physical and chemical mutagenic factors, selection and accumulation of auxotrophic mutants, information transfer, etc.)
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. The student must be able to independently apply knowledge of molecular biology, biochemistry, microbiology, etc. disciplines, work with scientific and methodological literature. 2. Know: - Characteristics of proteins and nucleic acids; - Characteristics of different cell types (eukaryotes, prokaryotes, plants, bacteria); - Have the concept of immunity; - Principles of epidemiology; - Biochemical and biophysical research methods.
Course content
The course occupies a leading position in the training of biologists. Based on knowledge of biochemistry, microbiology, general and molecular genetics, molecular biology, cytology, biophysics, virology. An important place is given to the classification of viruses, genetics and molecular biology of viruses. Individual viral infections, their pathogenesis and epidemiology are considered in detail. Attention is paid to aspects of new infections and emerging infections (emergingreimerging infections). One of the important theoretical issues in the development of virology as a science is the problem of integration and differentiation. Modern virological research has a pronounced integrative nature.
