  13. Topmaster BMI/SB: Aims: • become an excellent researcher in the quantitative life sciences • understand the physical, chemical and organizational principles underlying the living cell • obtain expertise with advanced molecular and cell biological techniques, such as ultrafast space- and time-resolved spectroscopy, single molecule biophysics and biochemistry, chemistry of complex molecules, molecular genetics in living cells, integrative genomics, molecular biology, confocal microscopy, tumor cell biology, nanotechnology

  14. TOP-BMI/SB : Aims continued: • obtain expertise in advanced conceptual and modeling methodologies for bioinformation and computing technologies, such as medical Systems Biology, signal transduction, computational biology, ecological control analysis, intracellular networks, hierarchical control analysis, Integrative bioinformatics, principles of Systems Biology, entering the living cell, Silicon Cell • obtain insight in the most important biological and biomedical issues, and in how they might be addressed scientifically • insight into what systems biology and integrative molecular biophysics may mean for society • unique and excellent profile for advanced interdisciplinary research between the physical sciences and the life sciences

  15. TOP-BMI/SB : Curriculum structure (2 year, 120 ECTS credit points) • Portal course 14 ECTS • 6 obligatory (5 ECTS) courses with each of the CRbCS professors 30 ECTS • 1 international experts’ lecture course 6 ECTS • orientation on future research project (including literature thesis) 12 ECTS • refereeing of research proposal 3 ECTS • 8 months research project in Amsterdam and foreign laboratory 40 ECTS • scientific article about research project 5 ECTS • following and discussing, reporting on scientific seminars 2 ECTS • scientific conference (co-organizing, participating, reporting) 3 ECTS • preparation for final comprehensive exam 5 ECTS

  16. TOP-BMI/SBObligatory courses: • Portal course: entry course of mathematics and physics for the biologist and biology for the physics/chemistry/mathematics bachelor • Ultrafast and time-resolved biospectroscopy • Single molecule biophysics and biochemistry (nanobiology) • Chemistry of complex biomolecules • Molecular genetics in living cells • Intracellular networks • Integrative bioinformatics • Current topics in biomolecular integration and systems biology (international lecturers)

  17. TOP-BMI/SB • Research projects: • One research exchange project in two laboratories (partly in Amsterdam and partly in one of the collaborating International Centers of Excellence), on Biomolecular Integration / Systems Biology • Career opportunities: • As reported in Nature 427, p. 568 (Feb 2004), there is a surge in Systems Biology research with many new groups being set up world wide. What is needed most is young bright people at the interface between Biology and Physics/Chemistry/Mathematics. The course arranges for Ph D studentships. • Enquiries: Prof. Dr. H.V.
