| Course Description | This course is designed for students to implement the experimental design they developed in their research project for the MBGE453-Graduation Project course, analyze the results they obtained, and create a results report. The course focuses on biological molecules and biochemical methods, allowing students to learn and apply various related techniques. Additionally, based on their hypotheses, they may test the activity of target biological molecules (such as drugs or inhibitors) using biochemical studies with appropriate molecules. At the end of the term, they present their projects either orally or by preparing a poster. |
