Education
Educational Process
Education in the Department starts on the third course. This large, practical course is devoted to learning the main experimental skills. The large practical course lasts for 2 years and consists of several parts. The first part deals with the learning of the basic biochemical methods. In the second and the third parts of the large practical course, the students learn biochemical techniques analyzing carbohydrates and studying the basic methods of protein chemistry. Special parts of the large practical course deal with preparative enzymology, basic methods of molecular biology and immunochemistry. The large practical course finishes by preparation of a special course project which lasts for 2-3 months and is performed in the scientific groups of the Department of Biochemistry or in laboratories of different Institutes of Russian Academy of Sciences and Russian Academy of Medical Sciences. In the fifth course, the students prepare their diploma project. This project is performed either at the Department of Biochemistry or in the friendly laboratories of the Institute of Physicochemical biology of the Moscow State University, in the Russian Cardiology Centre, in the Institute of Biochemistry or in the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of Russian Academy of Sciences and many other scientific institutions of Moscow.
The year-long course of general biochemistry is given by Professor A.D. Vinogradov.
