K3: Student can work in a team and/or coordinate the work of research group K_K09
K4: Student can critically evaluate the obtained results K_K10
Teaching methods
(in Polish) Lecture: informative lecture
Laboratory classes: students (2-3 persons in a team) have to perform the analyses according to the obtained protocol. The experiments have to be conducted in aseptic conditions therefore lab groups should be as small as possible (max. 8-10 persons).
Expository teaching methods
- informative (conventional) lecture
- problem-based lecture
- problem-based lecture
Exploratory teaching methods
- laboratory
- experimental
- project work
- observation
- practical
- experimental
- project work
- observation

Prerequisites
(in Polish) Basic knowledge in biochemistry, in vitro cell culture and cytophysiology.
