Aleksandar Antanasijevic

Teaching & PhD PhD Students Camilla Di Giulio, Kiruthika Kumar, Yash Garodia Courses Biological chemistry I BIO-212 Biochemistry is a key discipline for the Life Sciences. Biological Chemistry I and II are two tightly interconnected courses that aim to describe and understand in molecular terms the processes that make life possible. General chemistry for SV CH-100 This course covers essential notions in general chemistry, relative to matter and its structure, equilibriums and chemical reactions, for life science students. The lectures and exercise sessions provide the knowledge and methodology required to solve general chemistry exercises. Practical - Antanasijevic Lab BIO-614 The students will learn: 1) how to handle viral protein antigens and antibody samples 2) how to assemble and purify immune complexes using liquid chromatography 3) how to image them on an electron microscope Scientific literature analysis in bioengineering BIO-467 Students are given the means to dig effectively into modern scientific literature in the multidisciplinary field of bioengineering. The method relies on granting sufficient time to become familiar with the background and hypotheses, on effective support during the analysis and on oral assessment. Structural biology BIO-315 The main focus of this course is on the molecular interactions defining the structure, dynamics and function of biological systems. The principal experimental and computational techniques used in structural biology, as well as molecular modeling and design will be introduced and practiced.
