Content
This three-week QBio course is an extension of the masters course Systems Biology. The Qbio course will start one week earlier than the Systems Biology course. During this first week, you will be working on two assignments that will be used as selection criteria for your admission to the Qbio honours programme. Both assignments will be performed by groups of two students coming from different disciplines (e.g., a mathematician and a biologist, or a chemist and a biomedical biologist, etc)
·         Preparing a pitch on your group partner's bachelor/master project
·         Preparing a lecture about one of the five journal club articles that were discussed in the period Jan-May 2018. The lecture will be given during second or third week of the course to all students taking the Systems Biology course.
Next to these assignments, we will ask you to write a reflection on your thoughts about interdisciplinary research and how they are developing during this ourse (portfolio).
