TOP-BMI/SB Obligatory courses:
Portal course: entry course of mathematics and physics for the biologist and biology for the physics/chemistry/mathematics bachelorUltrafast and time-resolved biospectroscopySingle molecule biophysics and biochemistry (nanobiology)Chemistry of complex biomoleculesMolecular genetics in living cellsIntracellular networksIntegrative bioinformaticsCurrent topics in biomolecular integration and systems biology (international lecturers)
TOP-BMI/SBResearch projects: One research exchange project in two laboratories (partly in Amsterdam and partly in one of the collaborating International Centers of Excellence), on Biomolecular Integration / Systems BiologyCareer opportunities:As reported in Nature 427, p. 568 (Feb 2004), there is a surge in Systems Biology research with many new groups being set up world wide. What is needed most is young bright people at the interface between Biology and Physics/Chemistry/Mathematics. The course arranges for Ph D studentships.Enquiries: Prof. Dr. H.V.
