This course contains no contact teaching.

This course is offered at TUT. For details, see TUT curriculum and teaching schedule.

Seminar series where the students give presentations regarding their Master's thesis work.

The seminars are organized throughout the academic year. Students may join the course at their convenience, preferably prior to the start of their own thesis work. No enrollment is required. Participation in a minimum of eight seminar sessions is required.

Advanced information searching (organized by the library) is also a part of this course.

Additional information and instructions related to the thesis seminar and the Master's thesis work are provided at Moodle: BTK4030 Thesis seminar and BTK4031 MSc Thesis (self enrollment).

This course is organized as a self-study course with a project work and an exam. Contact the responsible teacher for materials if you are interested.

A practical study course, which is carried out in a research group.

The student must obtain approval from the responsible teacher and the leader of the research group before starting the project work. The research group provides the material (articles or other material) to be read in advance.

This course is organized as a web course with an introductory lecture.

General objective is to gain knowledge at a molecular level from the genes to the active proteins or RNA molecules, in other words from genetic information to biological functions in prokaryotic cells and in some viruses with special emphasis in eukaryotic cells and species.

Advanced course combining lectures and microscopy.

Course combines disciplines of cell biology, histology, anatomy and physiology enabling understanding of modern biomedicine.

In order to pass the course it is compulsory to attend to  the laboratory practicals and write the laboratory raport.

This course is organized at TUT. For details, see TUT curriculum and teaching schedule.

This course provides deeper insight into the protein structure-function and how to manipulate proteins. Specific topics: Mutagenesis, protein models, directed evolution, protein expression and purification, structural biology (NMR, X-ray crystallography). Every student prepares written research plan focusing on selected topic involving protein technology.

The Cancer Biology course focuses on the basic principles of the development and progression of cancer.

Students will learn which are the different sources and types of stem cells including embryonic, induced and adult stem cells; basics of stem cell biology and differentiation methods; stem cells in neural, cardiac, mesenchymal, hematopoietic, endodermal and ophthalmic applications.

Course will be arranged every second year, next time 2018-2019.

Prerequisites and recommendations:

BTK1014, BTK4400, BTK2051, BTK1013, BTK4665 or equivalent knowledge

Laboratory practical including work with human pluripotent and mesechymal stem cell culture, differentiation and charactersation. Laboratory diary and end report of the laboratory work.

Vacination for tetanus and hepatitis (A+B) required due to the work with human samples. When selecting the course participants the priority is given to the UTA Biotechnology programme students.

Opetukseen osallistuminen ei ole pakollista, mutta siitä saa lisäpisteitä arvosteluun. Kurssin voi suorittaa kirjatenttinä, mutta vain kurssitentin (1kpl/lukuvuosi) ja sen uusintojen (2 kpl/lukuvuosi) yhteydessä. Ei erillisiä kirjatenttejä.

Laboratory course focusing on recombinant DNA technology and protein research.

During the laboratory course we prepare recombinant DNA plasmids encoding for recombinant proteins and their mutants. We produce the proteins in E. coli, purify them using affinity chromatography, and analyze the proteins using electrophoresis and Western blot.

Multiform course in which the student's knowledge from the grounds of the pharmacological biology is increased with lectures and trainings.

In the Moodle is interrogated as a compulsory preliminary knowledge, Koulu, Tuomisto (toim). Pharmacologist and toxicologist (a network version in the address TaY a library, databases Oppiportti) parts which are informed separately. The test will be on week before the beginning of the study module.
