Introductory course modules

Students should attend at least four out of several independent course modules, which focus on research topics in Molecular Life Sciences. Some of the modules consist of general lectures and internal discussions of scientific publications to train critical scientific reasoning and to familiarize the students with some of the research carried out in Zurich. Other modules focus on (new) techniques and methods.
