Study

Students are trained in all areas of biochemistry, including bioenergetics, enzymology, molecular biology, protein chemistry and structure, immunochemistry, xenobiochemistry, and metabolic processes. Training involves participation in scientific projects, mainly at the Department of Biochemistry at Charles University and in collaboration with research institutes of the Czech Academy of Sciences and other laboratories. The study concludes with an English language certificate, a state doctoral exam in biochemistry, and a successful dissertation defense with a publication in an international journal. The program is conducted without specialization.
