Projekt

The project aims at the establishment of a new training course in "Molecular Methods in Biomedical Sciences", which will be offered to selected students of biology and medicine. This course will comprise theoretical and practical education provided by Sokhumi State University and Tbilisi State Medical University faculty and site visits by international experts in molecular / cell biology, most notably from Hannover Medical School (MHH); its certification is planned in the mid-term. The overarching aim is to raise the level of theoretical and practical undergraduate education in the life sciences to international standards and to enable Georgian graduate students to successfully apply to renowned international master and PhD programs. In conjunction with overdue structural changes in the academic environment of Georgian public universities, the training course will provide improved career perspectives for researchers returning from abroad. In the long term, the project may significantly contribute to the improvement of education in biosciences and medicine, to a nationwide improvement of molecular diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities.
