Lab Skills: Genetics & Oncology

Volledige vakbeschrijving

Laboratory skills are essential for students who want to pursue a Life Science oriented master study. The aim of this course is to develop competences in the planning and performance of experiments and evaluation of results using common techniques in molecular genetics. Training involves safety and Good Laboratory Practice, as well as some essential molecular genetics techniques like immunohistochemistry, microscopy, flow cytometry, DNA isolation, electrophoresis and restriction analysis, in situ hybridization and PCR. Students work in teams of two. The work involves preparing protocols for each experiment and giving a presentation on (at least) one of the experiments. Students perform experiments on several different topics.
