Thematik

The aim of the course is to enlighten and uncover the biochemical background of those topics which are selected as recent "mainstream" natural science issues. The topic spectrum is wide enough to cover problems from synthetic biology through dopes in sport until toxins and poisons of plants, fungi and animals. There is a special session about the physical, chemical and medical Nobel prizes from the last decade to get insight to the hottest fields of natural sciences.
