    Final state exam has two parts: subjects Molecular Biology and Cell Biology. To pass the exam, students have to prove they are well oriented in both disciplines mentioned above on the level determined by the profile courses of the degree programme.
  • Suggestion of theses topics and the topics of defended theses
    Examples of Diploma theses topics:
    1. Molecular characterization of antiviral effect of tick-borne encephalitis virus inhibitors
    2. Insertion of cleavage sites for lysosomal proteases into human ferritin for an improved release of encapsulated anticancer drugs
    3. Immunosuppressive cell analysis in monoclonal gammopathy patients
    4. MYB oncogene in osteosarcoma progression
    5. Interaction between lytic phage of the genus Kayvirus and Staphylococcus aureus strains with different genotypes
    6. Molecular mechanisms of resistance to thiosemicarbazones
    7. Comparative analysis of red clover (Trifolium pratense) transcriptome from root nodules

Recommended progression through the study plan

Diploma Thesis (min. 20 ECTS)

Students are obliged to enroll the course Diploma Thesis in Molecular and Cell Biology in each semester with total credit value of 30. To get the credits, students are supposed to study and perform experimental lab work to reach the aims of specific research project under guidence of his/her supervisor. This effort should result in written Diploma Thesis and its succesfull public defense in the last semester of the study.
