Topic
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the principles and laws of physics and biophysics that underlie the structure and function of biological systems as well as the principles behind methods and equipment used in biotechnological procedures. In addition to the transfer of basic knowledge, the aim of the training is to broaden the general knowledge of natural sciences and to present some special applications. The aim of the practices is to familiarize students with the use of measuring instruments and experimental tools, as well as the evaluation and analysis of measurement data.
