Where do we come from? - Students Scientific Societies
There's also one more thing we have to confess... most of us are tenacious activists of students' scientific associations at our Faculty
Students' Society of Genetics and EpigeneticsStudents' Society of Genetics and Epigenetics was founded in 2003. It has developed a noble tradition of weekly seminars (spoken by first-year students as well as by guests from abroad), conferences in the Faculty's field station in the lake region of Mazury, and, above all, scientific projects planned and realized by students with just as much help as necessary from their older colleagues. We have accomplished Pfu polymerase production and purification, we studied to what extent ethidium bromide is able to diffuse through laboratory gloves and we're still working on development of efficient oligo-DNA microarray stripping method. |

Students' Society of MicrobiologyStudents' Society of Microbiology also hosts weekly seminars and organizes visits in biotechnological and microbiological laboratories. Last year we studied active center of Vsr andonuclease by substituting particular aminoacids with alanine and evaluating how the substitution influences enzyme's activity. | |
Students' Society of Molecular BiologyAnd last, but certainly not least, is the Students' Society of Molecular Biology. We are the oldest student's society at the Faculty of Biology. We hold weekly seminars as well as participate in in numerous conferences and workshops - both in Poland and abroad. Our most recent project involved verification o localization of five putative mitochondrial proteins. |
