Lab Skills: Cell Biology

Full course description

The aim of this course is to develop competences in the planning and performance of experiments and in the evaluation of results using common techniques in molecular genetics and cell biology. The skills training starts with an introductory lecture providing information on the assignments as well as an introduction into Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and Safe Laboratory Practice (SLP). Students perform experiments on several different topics.

Topics included are:

• Immunocytochemistry
• Immunofluorescence and advanced imaging (confocal and STED microscopy)
• Western blotting
• Electron microscopy
