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
Course objectives
- To develop laboratory skills in the field of cell biology.
Prerequisites
This course is designed to be taken in combination with SCI2037 Cell Biology. Students who wish to take this course should concurrently enroll in SCI2037 Cell Biology or have taken it or SCI2003 Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology prior to enrolling in SKI2077.
