About the course

The course gives you basic knowledge about molecular infectious biology and it will improve your ability to solve and analyse problems related to infectious diseases. After the course, you will understand how microbes interact with the host and how anti-microbial drugs affect them. You will also get practical training in experimental infectious biology. Finally, you will be able to combine all your theoretical knowledge from other basic courses and use it in something more applied like molecular infectious biology.
