Course description
This is an international course in redox biology with participants, both lecturers and attendees, from USA and several European countries. The main participating institutions are Karolinska Institutet, The University of Nebraska Lincoln (UNL), The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), The National Institute of Oncology (NIO), Budapest, and The University of Debrecen. It is an intense course, with lectures, student presentations, poster sessions, social activities, and more.
The course covers all major aspects of redox biology, from the most basic concepts of redox biochemistry to the latest top-of-the-line research findings in the field. The course can best be described as an intermediate between a classical doctoral student course and an international scientific symposium in redox biology.
