Cell factory construction in silico. Engineering of biosynthetic enzyme specificities and other applications of synthetic biology in cell factory technologies aimed for production of bio-based chemicals, proteins and bio-inspired materials. The topic of next generation biofuels and the role of synthetic biology tools to rewire the microbial metabolism for high-yield biofuel production will be discussed and exemplified with newest examples in industry (Loog, Lahtvee, Valgepea).\nMammalian cell factories unit (5 lectures and seminars): Synthetic biology application in virology and fighting mosquito-spread viral diseases will be covered by Prof. Andres Merits.\nSynthetic biology application in plant biology and agriculture (5 lectures and seminars; Prof. Hannes Kollist).\nMedical applications of synthetic biology (5 lectures and seminars) (Dr. Viljar Jaks)" . .

"Presential"@en . "The international three-year bachelor's programme in Science and Technology has innovative content and comprises selected parts of all taught in the Faculty of Science and Technology. It provides a broad overview of natural and exact sciences and technologies.\n\nIn the first year, students study subjects which give good basic knowledge and prepare them to work with modern technologies and materials. Later it is possible to choose a suitable field of specialisation based on the acquired knowledge about different areas. Students can choose a combined specialisation in genetics and biotechnology, bioengineering and robotics, or chemistry and materials science. Learning outcomes\nThe student who has completed the curriculum:\n1) possesses a sufficient level of knowledge in mathematics and natural and exact sciences to continue professional studies on Master's level and work in professions that require basic knowledge in the field and simpler working skills;\n2) understand the general principles of the main areas of natural sciences, orientates in the basic principles of the fields of natural sciences and can describe these by basic concepts;\n3) knows the main research methods used in the field and understands the nature of scientific method;\n4) knows how to collect professional information by using relevant methods and tools, and interpret the information critically and creatively;\n5) is able to plan and complete professional assignments, choosing and implementing the suitable methods and technologies;\n6) is able to analyse the issues related to the field in oral and written form and participate in the respective discussions;\n7) is able to assess the theoretical and application value of knowledge and skills obtained during the completion of the curriculum from both the personal and social perspective, taking into account the scientific, social and ethical aspects;\n8) has acquired the necessary learning skills and needs for constant professional development and lifelong learning."@en . . . . .
