Master's Programme

The Plant-Microbe Interactions Group participates in three master's programmes:

• Environmental Biology (EB)
• Molecular and Cellular Life Sciences (MCLS)

During your master's programme you have the possibility to work in our group on an interesting research project for your major or minor. We offer a broad diversity of research projects. Depending on your interest you may learn techniques from the disciplines of molecular biology, genetics, phytopathology, microbiology,  or microbial ecology. For a tailor made research project please contact Corné Pieterse, Guido van den Ackerveken, or Peter Bakker.

An overview of student projects in our group is available here.   

In addition to providing training in our research laboratory
we teach in the following master courses:

• Master course "Molecular Recognition and Regulation" (MCLS)
• Master course "Genomics, Proteomics, and Bioinformatics" (MCLS)
• Master class "Bioinformatic for Molecular Biologists" (CGDB/MCLS)
• Master course "Molecular Plant Physiology and Biotechnology" (EB)
• Master course "Plants in Their Environment" (EB)
