Virology and Microbiology Study Program

The Chair of “Prevention of Microbial Disease” participates in several courses in the joint virology and microbiology study program of TUM.

1. Molecular and medical virology (part 1 and 2) Organized by Prof. U. Protzer at the Institute of Virology, School of Medicine.

  • Lecture recordings will be made available via TUM moodle and will be available 1 week before the respective Q&A session. The Q&A sessions are moderated by the respective lecturers and serve to clarify questions regarding the lecture content.
  • Courses: WA BIOCHEM-B, WA BIOCHEM-M, WA MolBio-M (each from 1st semester), WA BIO (from 7th semester), WA MED (from 5th semester)
  • The lecture is different in WS and SS (WS part 1 and SS part 2)!
  • ECTS: 3; with graded exam in HS A at Klinikum rechts der Isar (http://www.klinchem.med.tum.de/de/lageplan_hörsäle)
  • Repeat exam in HS A at Klinikum rechts der Isar (http://www.klinchem.med.tum.de/de/lageplan_hörsäle)
  • Lecture: 2 SWS; Thu, 16.00 to 16.30 hrs- Q&A on the individual topics: via TUM-ZOOM
