Senior Thesis

A senior thesis gives you a chance to dive deeper into a research topic of interest. It is the culmination of your undergraduate research career at one of the best biochemistry departments in the country. The thesis experience will help you develop your reading, research, and writing skills, and many students find this a rewarding experience in which to develop new skills through independent work. Senior theses are two-semester commitments, and senior honors theses are often required by Honors programs here at UW–Madison. Senior Thesis (691-692) and Senior Honors Thesis (681-682) are two-semester course sequences for students in the lab of a Biochemistry department faculty member. You must be a senior and you cannot take the two semesters concurrently.

This is an accordion element with a series of buttons that open and close related content panels.

Getting permission to enroll

Work with your thesis advisor (the faculty member who is the PI of your lab) to complete

• Your Senior Thesis Proposal Form (download here) , signed by your thesis advisor
• Your Research Proposal

Turn in your completed Research Proposal Form and Research Proposal to the Biochemistry/Microbiology Undergraduate Advising Hub ( [email protected] ) by the end of the third week of class.

Thesis proposal guidelines

Your senior thesis or senior honors thesis proposal should be two to five double-spaced pages with 1-inch margins and 11-12 pt font. The abstract and references are included in the 5-page limit and the proposal should follow disciplinary guidelines and use headers appropriate to the field. If you are uncertain about how to format your proposal, talk to your thesis advisor. All proposals should contain the following:

• An abstract of the proposed research (200 words or less, may be single-spaced)
• Introduction and literature review, detailing the originality and significance of the proposed project
• Methods section, describing plans for data collection and analysis
• Timeline for completion of project
• Conclusion/future directions
• References (may be single-spaced)

These guidelines are adapted from the Hilldale/Holstrom Application with permission from the Office of Undergraduate Academic Awards. Your thesis advisor may have additional requirements or recommendations.

Thesis guidelines

Overall, your senior thesis should follow a similar format as a Masters or Doctoral thesis. Consult with your thesis advisor for guidance.

• Title Page : Cover Page (download here) signed by your thesis advisor
• Introduction and Literature Review : Provide a short introduction to the questions addressed in the thesis, including a review of the relevant literature. The literature review need not be extensive, but it should summarize the status of the field at the time the project was undertaken. This section should conclude with a clear, concise statement of the hypothesis to be tested or the questions to be answered.
• Materials and Methods : In this section, you should report the materials (usually biological and/or chemical) used in the experiments and describe all techniques. If a technique has been used essentially as reported in the literature, it can be referenced without further description. You should note any significant modifications of the original report. Methods should be reported in enough detail to allow an interested colleague to reproduce the experiments.
• Results : You should describe the major experimental findings, which are usually summarized in the form of tables or figures. Tables and figures should be numbered consecutively, with each on a separate page. They may be inserted into the text as needed (usually as the page immediately following the text page on which a given table or figure is first mentioned) or collected together at the end of the thesis.
• Discussion and Conclusions : You should provide a discussion, interpretation, and summary of the thesis findings. The conclusions that can be drawn from the data should be stated clearly and defended concisely. It is often appropriate to discuss the results in relation to the findings of other investigators, particularly if the conclusions appear to be in conflict with those of others.
• References : You should collect all references cited in the text together in a bibliographic listing at the end of the thesis. Use a consistent format for all references. References may be cited in the text by number (in parentheses or as superscripts) and listed in the Reference section in order of citation. Alternatively, references may be cited by name and listed alphabetically in the References section. In the latter case, papers with one or two authors are usually cited in the text by name(s) and year (i.e., Smith and Barnish, 1999), whereas papers with three or more authors are usually cited as the first author et al. with the year (i.e., Barnish et al., 1999).
• Other Sections : It is helpful to include a short (≤1 page) abstract or summary and a table of contents at the beginning of the thesis. The thesis may also include a page of acknowledgments to express appreciation to those who were especially helpful in the work.
• Appendices : Experimental details or findings that are only tangentially relevant to the thesis may be included as appendices, if it seems desirable to preserve a record of the information.

Additional resources:

• ACS Style Guide – contains details on scientific writing, & guidelines for figures, tables, citations, references, etc.
• Helpful writing guide: Scientific Writing
• UW-Madison doctoral thesis guidelines: https://grad.wisc.edu/current-students/doctoral-guide/
• UW-Madison Writing Center: https://writing.wisc.edu/

Final thesis submission

We recommend that you give a completed copy of your thesis to your thesis advisor three weeks before the semester ends, so they have enough time to review your work and assign a grade.

You also need to turn in your thesis with a signed Cover Sheet to the Biochemistry / Microbiology Undergraduate Advising Hub ( [email protected] )​​​ by the last day of class of your second Senior Thesis semester. If you are in an honors program, check with them to see if they have an earlier deadline.

If you anticipate needing additional time to complete your work, you must discuss this with your thesis advisor and have the advisor inform Biochemistry/Microbiology Undergraduate Advising Hub ( [email protected] )​. You will receive a grade of incomplete and you will not officially graduate until the thesis is reviewed and the incomplete grade is changed to a letter grade.

The grade for the thesis will be given by your thesis advisor. During the first semester, your thesis advisor will give you a grade of “P” for progress or “F” for non-attendance/non-contact. Your thesis advisor will assign the letter grade at the end of your second semester, and it will serve as both the first and second semester grade. The thesis advisor will assign the grade through MyUW.

Student checklist for Biochemistry Theses

Semester before thesis work begins:

• Speak with a professor about doing a thesis in their lab.
• Begin work on the research proposal, which includes an experimental plan, methods and procedures, expected results, and the significance of the work (2-5 pages).
• Get authorized to enroll! Turn your Research Proposal Form and your Research Proposal in to the Biochemistry/Microbiology Undergraduate Advising Hub ( [email protected] ) this semester or by the end of the third week of class of your first semester of thesis work.
• Enroll in BIOCHEM 681 or 691

Start of first semester of thesis work:

• Turn in your Research Proposal Form and your Research Proposal to the Biochemistry/Microbiology Undergraduate Advising Hub ( [email protected] ) by the end of the third week of class.
• Enroll in BIOCHEM 681 or 691 by the end of the third week of class, if you haven’t already.
• Work on your thesis!

End of first semester and beginning of second semester of thesis work:

• Enroll in the second semester of your Senior Thesis course (BIOCHEM 682 or 692). If you are not authorized to enroll, then contact the Biochemistry / Microbiology Undergraduate Advising Hub ( [email protected] ).​​​​
• Your thesis advisor will issue you a “P” grade for “progress” for the first semester of thesis work. This is normal. The grade received for the second semester will automatically also apply to the first semester once it is issued.

Three weeks before end of second semester of thesis work:

• Complete your thesis!
• Have thesis advisor read your final thesis and sign your thesis cover sheet — the thesis advisor will then assign a grade electronically.
• Submit one copy of the finished thesis with the signed cover sheet to the Biochemistry/Microbiology Undergraduate Advising Hub ( [email protected] ) before the end of the last week of class.
• Note: Students in Honors programs may require earlier thesis submission and additional paperwork, depending on the program requirements and deadlines.

Drug Design for Epitranscriptomics Targets

Recent scientific breakthroughs have spawned a new area of epitranscriptomics, chemical modifications of RNA. One of the most common modification is N6-methyladenosine (m6A), which plays a crucial role in regulating transcriptomes and is therefore important in health and disease. The reader protein YTHDF2 specifically recognizes the m6A and regulates localization and stability of the bound mRNA. YTHDF2 is also involved in the development of acute myeloid leukemia and thus a promising anti-cancer target. This project includes expression (in  E. coli ) and purification of human YTHDF2. The purified protein will be used for solving the structure of complexes with small-molecule inhibitors identified  in silico .

Assay Development for Epitranscriptomics-modulating Drugs

The finely organized network of gene expression is often perturbed in cancer and other genetic diseases. The recently discovered layer of RNA regulation based on co- and post-transcriptional RNA modifications gave rise to a new field named epitranscriptomics. While there are over 160 different RNA modifications discovered up to date, one of the most abundant modifications, N6-methyladenosine (m 6 A), is involved in most of the aspects of RNA regulation, i.e., splicing, nuclear export, stability, and translation initiation. Several m 6 A binding proteins have been identified differing in their intracellular localization and effect on RNA function. For example, METTL3 is a dual function protein, which acts as a methyltransferase in the nucleus in complex with METTL14 and other proteins, but switches its function to translation regulation when translocated to the cytoplasm. It has been associated with various cancers and comprises an attractive anticancer drug target. This project will focus on the establishment of a fast and reliable m 6 A quantification method, and verifying the established assay on METTL3-depleted cells via RNA interference. The developed assay will be further used to evaluate the efficacy of in-house METTL3 inhibitors.

In this project, you will learn the following cell and molecular biology techniques in a friendly and supportive environment:

mammalian cell culture RNA interference (siRNA and plasmid transfection) Western Blotting ELISA assay qRT-PCR mRNA isolation using magnetic beads RNA dot blot fluorescence microscopy target engagement assays (i.e., CETSA, InCell Pulse)

Graduate Program

Please read the latest message from the Chair with regards to the Department’s response to the Covid19 Pandemic.

All graduate oral exams will go ahead online using Zoom. It is our hope that in most cases we can stick with the original times and dates however we can reschedule them by a week or two for those students who feel that they need more time. Please contact Carrie Harber if you have any questions.

Each M.Sc. candidate completing the degree must present a thesis and pass an oral examination on his/her research and related aspects of biochemistry. The University and the department accept the statements that the Master’s degree should be considered as certification to two attributes: familiarity with a body of knowledge and acquaintance with the methods of research which will permit at least a beginning of systematic and independent inquiry. The M.Sc. thesis should not be required to contain a finished piece of research, but should be a competent report of the student’s mastery of certain relevant techniques and their application to a specific problem.

When nearing completion of experimental work (typically at ~20-24 months), the student must schedule a final committee meeting to obtain approval to write the M.Sc. thesis.

Permission to write must be stated explicitly on the final Committee Meeting Report. This signifies that the student, supervisor and committee members agree that the experimental work required for the thesis has been completed (see section on committee meetings ).

The department expects that four months is the normal time period between receiving permission to write the thesis and the M.Sc. Oral Examination. This includes three months for writing the thesis, obtaining approval from the supervisor and committee members via the Thesis Approval and Exam Request Forms, and one month for scheduling of the exam.

It is expected that the student will consult with his/her supervisor and, where appropriate, with committee members throughout the planning and writing of the thesis. The student should include in his/her discussions with the supervisor the time frame expected for completion of various stages of the thesis as well as the total time required.

It is reasonable for the student to expect to receive comments from his/her supervisor and committee members within two weeks after providing them with the thesis.

Time frames will vary depending on the number of revisions required, the availability of committee members, and the student’s writing skills. However, if the M.Sc. Oral Examination and any required corrections/modifications to the thesis (including final submission to the SGS) have not been completed within four months of receiving permission to write, the graduate stipend may be withdrawn.

If the student feels that he/she will require additional time to complete the thesis, the student should discuss this with his/her supervisor well before the deadline and apply to the Chair and/or Graduate Coordinator for an extension. The supervisor may agree to continue funding if there is clear evidence of continued progress towards completion of the thesis.

In the event of unusual delays (e.g. health problems, family crisis etc.), the student should consult with the Graduate Coordinator.

The student must allow FOUR WEEKS for the exam to be set up from the day the signed Thesis Approval and Exam Request Forms are handed in.

Students must keep in mind that the Graduate Program Administrator must confirm the time and date of the examination with everyone on the examination committee. If someone is unavailable, the Graduate Program Administrator will check with the student’s alternative choices for members of the examination committee.

Permission to Write

The student must obtain permission to write once his/her supervisory committee has agreed that he/she has completed all necessary experiments needed for writing the thesis.

Permission to write must be explicitly stated on the final Committee Meeting Report Form (see section on committee meetings above). This indicates that the supervisor, committee members and student all agree that the experimental work required for the thesis has been completed.

Format of Thesis

A Master’s thesis is generally organized into the following sections: Introduction (in which the pertinent literature is reviewed and the thesis problem, hypothesis, or rationale is stated), Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions or Summary, Future Directions, and Bibliography.

Students may find it useful to consult previous theses from their labs or to check past theses collected in the departmental seminar room.

The thesis should include sufficient methodological detail to ensure that the work could be readily reproduced. Projects-in-progress and/or negative results may be presented. All figures should be presented as high-quality reproductions and should be accompanied by figure legends.

Students should visit the SGS website for guidelines on appropriate formatting of the thesis.

The thesis should also include a title page, Abstract, Table of Contents, List of Figures, List of Tables, and List of Abbreviations used. If any one other than the student has contributed data to the thesis he/she should clearly state this on the title page of the relevant Results Chapter(s). The student should indicate the nature of the contribution (e.g. technical assistance under the student’s guidance; independent design and interpretation of specific experiments in the Chapter, etc.).

The editorial input of the supervisor during the writing of the M.Sc. thesis is considered to be an essential part the student’s training. Therefore, except under “exceptional” circumstances and provided that the SGS time limit has not been exceeded, the student is expected to maintain his/her full-time (on campus) status until the thesis is complete.

Thesis Approval Form and Exam Request Form

When the student has completed about three-quarters of the thesis, he/she should pick up the M.Sc. Defense Package, containing the Thesis Approval Form and Exam Request Form, from the Graduate Program Administrator. The supervisor will read the complete draft of the thesis and discuss the necessary changes/corrections with the student.

Once the supervisor has approved the thesis by signing a Thesis Approval Form, the student gives a copy to each member of the supervisory committee. The supervisory committee members must read and approve the thesis by signing the Thesis Approval Form before an exam can be scheduled.

The student will have a maximum of four months from the permission-to-write date to defend the thesis; this includes three months to write the thesis and submit the Thesis Approval and Exam Request Forms, and one month to schedule the exam.

Although the student and his/her supervisor give suggestions for the composition of the examination committee, the composition is not final until approved by the Graduate Coordinator.

Scheduling the Exam

The examination will be scheduled when:

• all course and seminar requirements have been completed;

• the thesis has been approved to go forward to an oral defense;

• the Graduate Program Administrator has received the permission-to-write date, Thesis Approval Form and an Exam Request Form signed by both the student and his/her supervisor;

• and the Graduate Program Administrator has received an electronic version of the thesis abstract.

Membership of the Examining Committee

The examining committee will normally consist of at least six faculty members and have the following composition:

• the supervisor; • the co-supervisor (if relevant); • all members of the supervisory committee; • one other Biochemistry faculty member or extra-departmental faculty member from a cognate department who has not been involved with the supervision of the thesis or collaborated on the work therein; • and a Chair drawn from the Biochemistry Department faculty .

Distribution of the Thesis

The student must distribute copies of his/her thesis to members of the examination committee not less than 10 days before the oral examination.

The Oral Exam

At the beginning of the exam the student will give an oral presentation of 20-minutes length summarizing the work that has been done. This will be followed by questions from the committee members.

In addition to a high level of proficiency on his/her thesis topic, the student will be expected to show reasonable knowledge of the principles of general biochemistry. Generally, most questions deal with the background for the project, the design and interpretation of the experiments, and future directions.

At the end of the examination, the student will be asked to leave and all members of the examining committee, including the Chair, will vote. A quorum is four, which must include one member of the examination committee who is not on the student’s supervisory committee.

The vote takes into consideration the thesis research, the written document, and the defense. A passing vote can include the requirement for minor corrections. The Chair of the examining committee will decide, in consultation with the examining committee, who is responsible for approving these corrections.

In recommending that the student be awarded the M.Sc. degree, the committee will also decide on the student’s eligibility for entry into the department’s Ph.D. program.

The Chair of the examining committee will provide the student with a verbal summary of the post-exam discussion and will provide the Graduate Coordinator with a written summary of the examination proceedings.

If, at the conclusion of the M.Sc. examination, there is more than one negative vote, the M.Sc. degree will not be granted. The student may request one opportunity to present a revised version of the thesis. Such a reevaluation requires that the student defend the revised thesis at a reconvened examination. The membership of a reconvened examining committee will normally be the same as the original one.

Post-Exam Requirements

Upon satisfactory completion of the student’s examination, the Graduate Coordinator will forward an M.Sc. Degree Recommendation Form to the School of Graduate Studies. Before doing this, the Graduate Coordinator must have received the Chair’s Summary Form stating that the committee agreed that the student had passed the defense.

Also, if any corrections are required, the Chair of the examining committee or her/his designate must confirm in writing that the corrections have been made satisfactorily.

Before the student submits the final copy of the thesis, he/she must obtain any required copyright permissions . This may require inclusion of a line of text at the beginning of the Results Chapters, if they’ve been published.

The student must also ensure the thesis is formatted according to SGS guidelines . The student must submit the corrected, formatted thesis in an electronic format to the School of Graduate Studies through T-space , the University’s digital library repository, along with payment of the required thesis processing fee.

The student must submit a Library and Archives Canada Non-exclusive License form ( LAC ) to the Master’s Office at the School of Graduate Studies. Students should also consult the Electronic Theses and Dissertations Checklist on the SGS website.

Students should visit the SGS website for detailed information on all topics discussed above pertaining to producing a thesis.

The department requests that the student also produce a bound copy of his/her thesis for addition to the departmental library of theses housed in the departmental seminar room.

Departmental Funding Policy for students defending

Students who receive Permission to Write shall continue to receive funding provided that they defend within the specified timelines as follows:

MSc Students: The student will have a maximum of four months from the permission-to-write date to defend the thesis; this includes three months for writing the thesis, obtaining approval from the supervisor and committee members via the “Thesis Approval” and “Exam Request Forms” and one month for scheduling of the exam.

Funding breakdown (living allowance + tuition)

Living allowance: The living allowance will continue to be paid up to and including the month the defence is held.

Tuition: tuition is based on the date the final thesis is submitted to the School of Graduate Studies. Note that the thesis submission can only be done AFTER the defence and as such students should allow sufficient time for these corrections to be made and approved (1-2 weeks minimum for minor corrections).

MSc students: Final year fees are calculated by term (Fall / Winter). There are two deadlines that will determine how much tuition a student will need to pay.

To avoid paying tuition for the Fall – the final thesis must be submitted to SGS by or before the SGS deadline – typically this is end of September / Early October.

To avoid paying tuition for the Winter session – the final thesis must be submitted to SGS by or before the SGS deadline – typically this is end of late January.

MSc thesis submitted AFTER the Winter session deadline will be charged for the Full year of tuition (which students must pay in full by the end of April to avoid paying interest charges)

NOTE: the fee’s for students (MSc and PhD) on a program extension will be different as they will reflect the reduced tuition of extension students. These will also be listed on the Student Account website.

Master’s Tuition Fee Bursary

A limited number of bursaries are available from SGS for Master’s students whose minimum period of registration (i.e. program length) will have ended by or before either August or December and who have a small amount of work outstanding for the degree.

The value of the bursary is equal to the difference between one session full-time fee and one session part-time fee. This tuition assistance is provided for only one session during the academic year. For further information contact the Graduate Program Administrator or the SGS.

210 Biochemistry Research Topics For Your Class

Biochemistry research topics demand practical experiments with samples and specimens that yield the desired results. Before approval, a title in this field must start with a proposal representing the typology that the study will eventually produce. Project coordinators or supervisors must screen the topics that students choose without exceptions. Therefore, topic ideas must arise from careful cross-examination of sample specimens and experiments that researchers have watched for some time.

What is Biochemistry?

As the name suggests, biochemistry is the fusion of chemistry and biology in living organisms. Nobody can overstate the essence of biochemistry because it explains the causes of illnesses in animals and humans. Also, biochemistry continues to help researchers and scientists determine how molecules like proteins and vitamins function within the body.

Writing excellent papers in the fields of biochemistry requires admirable knowledge and a good understanding of this scientific branch. Luckily, the internet has many resources with materials that students can research their topics. But students should select their topics carefully and structure their papers properly to impress educators to award them top grades.

Biochemistry Paper Outline

A good biochemistry paper comprises several sections that enable the audience to understand the topic and its information. Here’s is an outline of a quality biochemistry paper.

Title page : The title page comes first in a research paper, providing an overview of the study. This page should include the running head, paper title, student’s name and affiliations, and page number. Students should format this page depending on their writing style, whether MLA, APA, or Chicago. Intro : The introduction is the second section of a biochemistry research paper. And this part should have an abstract and an introduction. Nevertheless, this part places the work into context for the audience. It also tells the readers why the study is relevant. Literature review : In this section, the student examines the materials they consulted during research. A good paper comprises a comprehensive assessment to show that the author read several published works on the issue. It also shows why the current study is essential and different. Methodology : Here, the writer explains their methods to gather and analyze the information they convey to the audience. This section is essential because it enables the audience to evaluate the validity of the research. Researchers can use experiments, observation, case studies, and documentary methods in their research. Analysis and discussion : In this section, the writer conveys the results of their research work. They also expound on their methodology. This part can include tables and figures that are easy-to-understand and precise. Conclusion : This part of a biochemistry paper summarizes the research while suggesting further studies on the topic. Reference : This section lists the materials that the writer consulted during the research. Including a bibliography makes the work authentic.

College and university learners must pick interesting topics to enjoy working on their research projects. Without exciting topic ideas, learners can struggle to work on their papers from the beginning to the end. That’s why this article lists some of the best and popular topics in this scientific field. However, you should remember there is always a possibility to custom dissertation from our professional helpers team.

Ph.D. Thesis Proposal

Procedures and policy guidelines, a. procedures.

The Graduate Advisory Committee (GAC) evaluates all Ph.D. Thesis Proposals. The GAC consists of at least seven (7) faculty members of the Department, and of one graduate student representative. Current GAC faculty members can be found online*.

• Graduate students must present their Thesis Proposals in the 5th or the 6th semester of their graduate studies.
• The Graduate Advisory Committee convenes twice a year to evaluate proposals (Fall and Spring).
• Proposals are usually scheduled near the end of semesters (December, May).

Before the Examination

• Graduate students must have passed (overall satisfactory) their yearly presentation in front of a Research Advisory Committee (RAC), with the more recent RAC no more than 6 months.
• Permission to present a Ph.D. Thesis Proposal is required and should be clearly stated in the most recent RAC report.
• The title of the Ph.D. Thesis Proposal must be submitted at least five (5) weeks in advance of the examination to Pascale Joseph ( undergrad.biochem [at] mcgill.ca ).
• The complete written Ph.D. Thesis Proposal must be submitted at least three (3) weeks in advance to Pascale Joseph.
• The written proposal must be prepared and formatted as described in Appendix A  below.
• The student must prepare a twenty (20) minute oral presentation of their Ph.D. The presentation should not be longer than 20 minutes. Thesis Proposal (PowerPoint or the like) as instructed in Appendix B below.

Thesis Proposal Examination

• Examinations are done in person and should take no more than 1 hour. This is usually conducted in room 908 of the Biochemistry Department.
• Before the start of the examination, the GAC will meet without the student to review the student’s progress (RAC reports, course performances, Junior Seminar evaluation), flag any areas of concern, and discuss the written Ph.D. Thesis Proposal.
• The student will deliver a 20-minute oral presentation of their Ph.D. Thesis Proposal. The overall question period should last no longer than approximately 40 minutes.
• The meeting outcome (satisfactory, conditional, or unsatisfactory)
• Identify any areas of concern and corrective actions
• Determine any other advice to be provided to the students
• Based on the outcome, set the date of the next meeting if necessary
• The GAC Chair will summarize the examination outcome in a letter to be submitted to the graduate student and supervisor.
• Graduate students must register to the BIOC702 (Ph.D. Thesis Proposal) course.

B.  Policy on Ph.D. Thesis Proposal Procedure and Outcome

The Ph.D. Thesis Proposal examination consists of the following three (3) components:

• The written Thesis Proposal . The written proposal must be prepared and formatted as per Appendix A. Incomplete or poorly written proposals will impact the GAC’s decision and examination outcome. Failure to submit the written proposal in due time may also impact the student’s status in the program.
• The oral presentation . The oral presentation should summarize the content of the written document and be prepared as outlined in Appendix B. The student should be able to defend their Thesis Proposal based on the presentation. Presentations that are poorly prepared or that last longer than 20 minutes will impact the GAC’s decision and examination outcome.
• Answers during the question period . General competence will be assessed in the question period. Students must be able to discuss and explain presented experiments and provide details as needed. They must be able to elaborate beyond what is shown in the presentation (e.g. provide alternative questions, experiments, analyses, interpretations). They must demonstrate some general knowledge outside of their immediate research by answering connected and general questions in their research fields. Failure to demonstrate competence could impact the GAC’s decision and examination outcome.

Each component of the exam will be rated as Satisfactory , Conditional , or Unsatisfactory . The overall outcome of the Ph.D. Thesis Proposal is determined as follows:

Satisfactory

When all 3 components are rated as Satisfactory, the student will be deemed to have completed all three components and will receive a “PASS” grade on the BIOC702 course (Ph.D. thesis Proposal). The next meeting will be with a RAC at their yearly presentation.

Conditional

If one or more of the components is rated as less than Satisfactory and no more than one component is Unsatisfactory , the student will be graded as “CONDITIONAL”. In the letter submitted to the student and supervisor following the examination, the GAC will impose one or more condition and a timeline for the student to fulfill them (normally no more than 3 months). If the student fulfills the conditions set by the GAC, the student will be awarded a “ Satisfactory ”, be given a “PASS” for BIOC702, and be granted permission to continue in the program. If not, the meeting outcome will be deemed “ Unsatisfactory ”, and the procedures outlined in the following section will be followed.

Unsatisfactory

When two (2) or more components of the exam are rated as Unsatisfactory, the overall meeting outcome will be graded as “UNSATISFACTORY”. In keeping with GPS regulations**, the following consequences will result:

In the case where a student is unsuccessful at the first attempt of the exam:

• A grade of “HH – to be continued” will be recorded for BIOC702
• The student will be required to repeat the entire exam at a time determined by the GAC. As per GPS regulations, this meeting must occur not sooner than 4 months and not later than 6 months after the first meeting.
• A student who is successful in the second attempt will be deemed to have passed the exam, and will be given a “PASS” for BIOC702.

In the case where a student is unsuccessful at the second attempt of the exam:

• The student will be deemed to have failed the Ph.D. Thesis Proposal.
• A grade of “FAIL” will be entered for BIOC702 replacing the previously recorded HH. The student will be required to withdraw from the program.

Preparing and formatting the written Ph.D. Thesis Proposal

The written Ph.D. Thesis Proposal should be prepared with the oral presentation in mind. This document should properly introduce the project, justify its importance, describe your research progress to date, and propose future experiments that will overall represent an important contribution to research. The Ph.D. Thesis Proposal should feature substantial preliminary experimental work and propose future experiments . The proposed experiments should be well thought of and feasible.

• Approximately and not more than 5 pages single spaced including figures.
• Figures should be inserted in line with the text, be legible, and not exceed 1 page of total space.
• References are not included in the document’s 5 page maximum.
• The main text should provide the following:
• Central hypothesis
• Specific Aims: these could represent your proposed thesis chapters. Three (3) proposed results Chapters is common but not required. In each of your Aims, specify the short and long term objectives.
• Significance
• You can include extra pages reporting additional work that does not fit in the main Thesis Proposal. This is optional and should be clearly marked as an Appendix.
• Document must be letter size (21.25 x 27.5 cm / 8.5 x 11 inches).
• In the header on the left, indicate your name (the lab you are in).

"Methods course" In the bachelor's and master's degree courses in biology and biochemistry, there is a so-called "methods course" before the thesis. This is carried out by the supervisor with whom the thesis is being carried out and, among other things, topic-specific working methods that are required for the respective thesis are learned. After successful completion, the supervisor enters the relevant proof of achievement in the university portal. Independent registration is not possible. Please note that in the case of internships carried out externally, the internal supervisor must record the proof of achievement. The "methods course" must be completed so that the thesis can be registered. For students in the PO 2017, after passing the "methods course", a period begins to register the thesis in the study secretariat (in the bachelor: 2 weeks, in the master: 2 months). Finally, you will find an overview of how the "methods course" is called in the individual courses and how many CP it includes: Bachelor Biochemie Methoden der Biochemie (9 LP) Methoden der Biochemie (10 LP) Additionally: Seminar zur Bachelorarbeit (1 LP)* Bachelor Biologie Methoden der Biologie (10 LP) Methoden der Biologie (10 LP) Master Biochemie Fortgeschrittenenpraktikum Biochemie (10 LP) Fortgeschrittene Methoden der Biochemie (9 LP) Master Biologie   Spezielle Methoden für Forgeschrittene (10 LP) Advanced Methods in Biology (Advanced practical Course) (10 LP) Additionally: Advanced Methods in Biology (Seminar) (2 LP)*  *: corresponds to regular participation in the working group seminar.
