READ BEFORE YOU BEGIN!

Attendance to these courses will give you credits that will help you obtain the EELISA Supplement. If you want these courses to be also accepted as credits for your school year, you need to proceed as-is:

  • Apply for the course at the host institution
  • Get an acceptance letter from the person in charge of the course
  • Show the acceptance letter to the dean of studies (international affairs) of your home institution
  • Get approval from your dean of studies
  • Get a certificate of attendance and validation of the course at the host institution at the end of the course (after examination, if this applies)
  • Transmit the certificate to the dean of studies at your home institution.

Please, note that the dates for some of the courses are based on those from the academic year 2020-2021. For the latest update on each course date, please request more information from the contact person. For a larger list of courses, you are advised to contact the international affairs office of your institution.

Biochemistry for Chemical Engineers

WHAT

The subject (biochemistry) does not aim at giving comprehensive biochemistry knowledge. Instead it would like to give a short overview of the biochemical pathways and their connections. The first part gives basic knowledge from the field of basic cell biology. The second part focuses to the basic principles of enzymology and bioenergetics. This part gives background to the metabolic processes discussed in the third block. The energy producing processes such as the oxidative phosphorylation and the photosynthesis is embedded into this metabolic part. This metabolic part is followed by the forth, last part which discuss the basics of molecular biology.

Bioinformatics

WHAT

Aim of the course is to provide students with the basic knowledge of bioinformatics techniques as an easy and friendly support for their study and research careers. This will entail:

1) theory of the most common bioinformatics algorithms and resources: who they are, what they do and why they are so important and increasingly used in modern biology research;

2) basic practical experience through hands-on-sessions on typical problems that can be answered by using popular online tools.

Bioinorganic Chemistry

WHAT

Nature utilizes metal ions and metal complexes to undertake several crucial processes. In fact, a human being requires about 25 elements to have a healthy life, half of them being metals! The chemical study of metals in biology is referred as bioinorganic chemistry. This area of research encompasses the study of metallo-enzymes (i.e. vitamin B12) or biological processes such as respiration. In this course, a general overview of the role of metals in biology will be presented. It is also planned to outline to role that metal complexes can play to understand biological processes.

Biointerfaces

WHAT

This lecture aims at showing that the key role played by the surface of materials in the issues related to the interfaces between solids and biological environment (biointerfaces). These issues are mainly in the biomedical context but also, more widely, for any innovative systems implying surfaces and biomolecules (biosensors, biofilms in food industry, biocorrosion…). This course implies the following items: -Introduction: the surface = a complex material (structure, composition, model surfaces, real surfaces -Biointerfaces where all biological processes occur -Dedicated physico-chemical characterization techniques: in situ real time ones, UHV techniques, combination of techniques morphology and composition… -Different examples of surface reactivities from amine acid reactions to protein non specific and specific interactions -Interactivity on specific topics: understanding the quantitative approach

Biopolymers

WHAT

Biopolymers are polymers produced by living organisms (e.g. microorganisms or higher-order plants and animals) or synthesized from bio-based building blocks (e.g. acids, amino acids, carbohydrates, natural triglycerides) in a chemical process. The course provides an introduction to the most significant biopolymers, their chemical structure, properties and most important applications.
