A team-based learning course with emphasis on questions in the fields of protein biochemistry, synthetic biology, and the evolution of proteins and networks of protein-protein interactions. Lectures and seminars will focus on current research topics within these fields and will provide the background knowledge for students to work in teams to explore the primary research literature, and for each team to develop a formal research proposal.
