Teaching & PhD

Courses

Biology for engineers

MSE-212

This course consists of an introduction to biology and more particularly to biology as a multidisciplinary field, emphasizing natural examples of materials engineering. It should therefore allow engineering students to find inspiration from biology in future materials research problems.

Cellular biology and biochemistry for engineers

BIO-105

Basic course in biochemistry as well as cellular and molecular biology for non-life science students enrolling at the Master or PhD thesis level from various engineering disciplines. It reviews essential notions necessary for a training in biology-related engineering fields.

Introduction to life sciences (for IC)

BIO-109

The course introduces the fundamental principles observable in all living organisms. As much as possible, emphasis is put on the contributions from Informatics to the development of Life Sciences.

Morphology I

BIO-320

This class is a specific preparation for the admission exam to join the third year of the Medical School. It covers the macroscopic (anatomy), microscopic (histology) morphology of the human body with a medical perspective. The correlation between structure and function is systematically described.

Morphology II

BIO-321

Morphology II allows students who have taken Morphology I to deepen their knowledge by studying the radiological anatomy and the developmental processes. Frequent malformations are explained in relation to embryology. Selected topics required for the admission to the Medical School are covered.
