Course for advanced undergraduate students (mostly 4th and 5th year interested students from the 3rd year are welcomed). The basic knowledge of cell biology and molecular biology is required. Important achievements published in high-ranked journals are discussed in the format of Journal Club. Special attention is paid to data interpretation in a broad context and critical evaluation of used methods. Each paper will be presented orally by a student and discussed together by the whole group. Discussion is a major part of the course and everybody is expected to participate actively. The language of the course will be English or Czech, depending on what will be agreed on at the beginning of the course. Last update: Šebková Nataša, RNDr., Ph.D. (24.10.2019)

Analyze data from selected breakthrough scientific articles in the context of current knowledge in cell biology and identify their significance for broader molecular mechanisms. Evaluate the experimental methods used in papers from high-quality journals, including their strengths and weaknesses in relation to the study's objectives, and assess the use of proper controls. Synthesize key findings from a group of similarly focused articles into a coherent overview of current trends in this scientific topic. Present orally the content of a selected breakthrough article in English or Czech, including a clear interpretation of data and context. Discuss the content of the presented articles critically in a group, formulating questions and arguments based on the figures and presented data. Interpret complex biological data (e.g., from microscopy or biochemical assays) in the broader context of cellular processes. Proactively participate in discussions of all presentations, emphasizing constructive feedback and sharing questions or perspectives. Appreciate the importance of critical thinking in evaluating scientific experiments and writing scientific publications. Last update: Libusová Lenka, RNDr., Ph.D. (12.01.2026)
