Learning Achievement

We aim to allow our students to have the ability to properly design, correctly precede specific experiments when they deal with membrane proteins and related subjects. In class, we combine in class lecture, lab practice (allow students to work on their own specific experiments that directly linked to their master or PhD study) as well as interactive discussions in order to have direct and fast feedback on questions and difficulties they encounter.
