Aim

This course involves both theoretical aspects and practical tutorials to address biomolecular interactions at model cellular membranes.

At the end of this course the student should be able to:

• Describe a set of models for biomembranes.
• Describe the principles of a set of nanotools with a focus on AFM, IR, QCM-D, ellipsometry and Neutron Reflection.
• Relate biomembrane models to a given experimental technique.
• Apply a set of nanotools and nano models to unravel biomolecular interactions at membranes.
• Reflect on the choices made and the results obtained.

Nanotools Part 1 (theoretical part) – 2 credits

Nanotools Part 2 (practical part) – 3 credits

This course runs every other year and is planned for spring 2021, and autumn 2022.

Aim

This course aims to provide students with basic knowledge of the small-angle scattering technique, design of experiments and the analysis of data with an emphasis on biological structure.

After completing the course, the student should:

• Have an understanding of the small-angle scattering technique particularly from the perspective of experiment design.
• Understand the Fourier relationship between real space structure and small-angle scattering data and complementarity between the two experimental perspectives.
• Have the ability to extract structural information from the well-designed small-angle scattering experiment.
• Understand the application of contrast variation and molecular deuteration to enhance the information content of small-angle scattering experiments.

The first edition of this course took place in the fall of 2019. The next course is expected for the fall of 2021.

Aim

What counts as research practice and how to frame Practice Based Research are of prime importance in disciplines where aspects of making exist alongside theoretical research at an advanced scientific level. This course activates a critical exploration of research practices that are part of a researcher’s scholarly activities (“Practices that Question”) and contributes to the critique and development of such practices (“Practices in Question”). This course is designed for doctoral students from a range of disciplines but is particularly intended to support research in humanities/social sciences, media and communications, design, arts, and performance. The goal is to support students to deepen, critique and expand the methodologies used in their research processes.
