Bioanalysis - Forefront Technologies and Applications

The course will give the students in-depth knowledge on:

• Trends in forefront research in bioanalytical chemistry
• The potential of new technologies in bioanalytical chemistry
• The potential of new applications in bioanalytical chemistry
• How to present bioanalytical research in scientific papers
• How to present bioanalytical research in oral communication

For participants with a Master’s degree in Pharmacy: FARM2130, FARM5000 and FARM-KJM5010 or FRM2010, FRM2020, FRM3030, FRM4020 and FRM-KJM5050.

For participants with a Master’s degree in Chemistry: KJM2400, KJM3400 and FRM-KJM5050/FARM-KJM5010.

Passed exam in KJM-FRM5055 is considered an advantage.

Others: Education in pharmaceutical chemical analysis or analytical chemistry corresponding to the courses above.

PhD candidates from the University of Oslo should apply for classes and register for examinations by contacting the Study Administration, [email protected].

If a course has limited intake capacity, priority will be given to PhD candidates who follow an individual education plan where this particular course is included. Some national researchers’ schools may have specific rules for ranking applicants for courses with limited intake capacity.

PhD candidates who have been admitted to another higher education institution must apply for a position as a visiting student within a given deadline.

The course will be offered to maximum 34 participants. The course will not be offered if there are fewer than 5 participants.

The course is centered on a five day obligatory session (in total 34 hours) held in Oslo:

• lectures and student presentations (22 hours)
• workshops (12 hours).

No practical laboratory exercises. Each student also has to prepare student presentation prior to the course week (36 hours) based on a research article provided the student prior to the course week. Each student is expected to write an article after the course week with focus on a bioanalytical chemistry subject for a national journal in pharmacy / chemistry (56 hours).

Mandatory participation during the course week.

The students have to fulfil the following to pass the course:

• Each participant has to give a short lecture (10 min, research presentation) about own research, one lecture (20 min) related to a pre-selected article (article presentation) during the course week (weighting: 2/3 of the grade). The article presentation is based on a research article provided each student prior to the course.
• Each participant has to submit a written contribution for national pharmacy/chemistry journal based on one of the subjects covered by the course (weighting: 1/3 of the grade).
