Participation and target group
This course, which comprises 5 seminars of 1.5 to 2 hours, can be followed by PhD students with a Master’s degree in Sciences or equivalent.The course is included in the PhD student program of the Arenberg Doctoral School (ADS) but can also be followed by students of the doctoral school Biomedical Sciences or the doctoral school for the Humanities and Social Sciences. There is no specific previous knowledge.
Registration
All seminars can be followed separately without registration. Attendance confirmation will be provided by signature at the time of the seminar.

Credits
Study points: 3
Credit hours:
- 10 contact hours
- 65 hours for preparing seminars and making final report (= exam)
Aims
Students become familiarized with a variety of new methods applied in contemporary biological research. They follow seminars and take part in the subsequent discussions in an interactive manner. Students get acquainted with the latest technological developments in biology, biochemistry and biotechnology. Students acquire the necessary information to judge the applicability of the methods in a biological research context.
Content
Guest speakers, post−docs and senior PhD students will share their knowledge and hands on experience with a given methodology.
For each seminar an introducing publication will be provided, enabling to facilitate
interactive discussion after the presentation.
Afterwards, a pdf file of the presentation will be supplied by the speaker and will be
posted on the BioSCENTer website.
Venue
All seminars take place at the Zoological Institute in auditorium ZI.02.21, Deberiotstraat 40, 3000 Leuven.
