SP characteristics

The purpose of the study program is to provide the students with advanced theoretical and practical knowledge in various areas of molecular and cell biology, genetics and virology, as well as to familiarize them with modern methodical and technical approaches utilized in these scientific fields and with the possibilities of such approaches for problem-solving in current biological and biomedical science (including interdisciplinary research). The main scope of the program can be characterized as the study of biological processes at molecular and cell level, focusing particularly on complex interactions between cells and environment or between various information macromolecules (DNA, RNA, proteins) and using the most modern approaches of molecular biology and bioinformatics.

Graduate profile for the public:
The graduate displays deep theoretical knowledge in molecular and cell biology, genetics and virology, with focus on some specific branch of these scientific fields. He/she is able to propose an optimum solution of a given scientific problem, to choose suitable methodical approaches and to correctly evaluate and interpret the obtained data. He/she also shows practical ability to apply various modern methods and techniques of molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, bioinformatics and biostatistics. The graduate can independently solve complex research problems using his/her creative thinking based on the theoretical and practical knowledge acquired during the doctoral study. He/she can find employment particularly in the reseach/development sector with focus on biology and biomedicine (both fundamental and applied research).
