7,5 credits Bioinformatics, the application of computational methods to biological and biomedical problems, is a rapidly growing field. A large amount of data is being generated in the post genomic era through research in genomics, proteomics, and structural biology. It is therefore crucial that modern biochemists and biologists have knowledge of bioinformatics.This hands on course will give you a

15 credits The course Ecotoxicology is aiming to provide understanding and practical knowledge of the fate, uptake and effects of anthropogenic pollutants in the environment. We study and apply ecotoxicological theories, models, and common methods and approaches concerning: fate of pollutants in the environment using fugacity based multimedia partitioning models; uptake and accumulation using mode

15 credits The central topic of the course is evolutionary theory and its ecological applications. We will focus on processes at both gene and individual level, with an emphasis on animals. The course is divided into different parts based on subject content. Evolutionary ecology. We start with the basics of Darwin's theory of evolution. Thereafter, we discuss central concepts such as natural and s

15 credits In this advanced course, you will learn how to reconstruct evolutionary history and test evolutionary hypotheses using a range of data and methods. You will also learn how evolutionary biology can be applied to meet outstanding challenges in medicine, conservation, biotechnology and sustainable development. The course is mandatory on the MSc programme in Evolutionary Biology.Course desc

15 credits Evolution affects biology at all levels – from genes to ecosystems. You will learn to analyse and understand the evolutionary processes that give rise to novelty, adaptation and diversity. In doing so you will learn how to unravel the evolutionary history of biological systems. The course is the first course on the MSc programme in Evolutionary Biology.Understanding evolution requires t

15 credits Course description Why study immunology? Immunology is the study of the different biological structures and processes that together make up the immune system. The immune system plays a crucial role in our life by defending us from microorganisms and other parasites that might cause disease. In addition, the immune system provides protection against tumours. On the other hand, malfunctio

Initialt finansierades MKC av Cancerfonden och MFM av sjukvården i Malmö. Fram till 2005 hade vi möjlighet att tillhandahålla prover och datauttag utan kostnad. Idag måste dock vår verksamhet intäktsfinansieras. Vår största utgift är personalkostnader. Vi har en heltidsanställd datamanager och en heltidsanställd projektkoordinator. Vid stora uttag måste vi också ta hjälp från externt anställda BMA
