The aim of this course is to develop an understanding of biotechnology concepts with emphasis on their dynamic use in modern approaches, such as creating new traits in microbial, plant, and animal organisms, using transgenic organisms as bioreactors for the production of high-value compounds, and more. Another key objective is to analyze potential risks and problems that may arise from biotechnological applications for humans and the environment, while promoting awareness of the contribution of transgenic organisms in producing products or services for everyday use.
Students will learn modern concepts and applications of biotechnology, including genetic modification, transgenic organisms, and biotechnological production of high-value products. They will understand risks and bioethical considerations in biotech use, and gain hands-on experience in laboratory techniques, data collection, and research analysis. The course develops critical and creative thinking, scientific communication, literature review skills, and problem-solving, preparing students to work independently or in teams in interdisciplinary biotech environments.
