Tematika

The aim of the course is to present the most important and most exciting Nobel Prize-winning molecular cell biology discoveries based on Nobel lectures given by the winners. The background story of the awards reveals many years of research work, good ideas, good fortune mixed with family and other personal memories. There is no single recipe for success, the road is always a bit different, and perhaps the only common feature is the teamwork. From the presentations one might get insight of the winners’ personality as well. An important aspect was in the selection of the topics to emphasize their significance (DNA-, RNA-structure and their synthesis, ribosome function), their impact on current medical way of thinking (e.g. Prions) and diagnostic methods (e.g. recombinant DNA technology, DNA sequencing), the description of their present and future medical applicability (e.g. in vitro fertilization), as well as to highlight their potential relations to different diseases (e.g. cell cycle regulation, reprogram of differentiated cells, RNA interference, papillomaviruses, HIV). Lectures are organized based on the topics related to the weekly schedule of the molecular cell biology course, not in chronological order. Most of the presented discoveries and experiments are involved in the molecular cell biology course material, so hopefully their discussion helps in the better understanding of those topics and lead to a more effective and shorter exam preparation.
