We are happy to announce that today's lecture by Prof. A. Dziembowski entitled "Origin of molecular biology, plasmids, restriction enzymes, ligases. Modern cloning techniques" inaugurated the year-long course organized by the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw within the framework of the Warsaw-4-PhD Doctoral School in the 2022/2023 academic year.

This lecture is one of 30 to be delivered as a part of the year-long course. The title of the course is: "Methodological Advances in Molecular and Structural Biology." The coordinators of the course for PhD students are Prof. J.Bujnicki, Prof. A.Dziembowski and Prof. G.Michlewski, who, together with invited internal and external experts, will carry out the entire series. They will present scientific methodology and give introduction to a series of advanced techniques used in the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw in the fields of:

- molecular biology (genetic engineering, sequencing, data analysis in genomics and transcriptomics);

- protein and RNA biochemistry as well as macromolecular interactions;

- structural biology and biophysics of proteins and nucleic acids and structural bioinformatics.

The entire training will cover two semesters, summer and winter, and will end with an exam in June 2023. Below is the program for the entire training course.
