The general aim of this skills course is to obtain detailed knowledge about the techniques that can be applied to address molecular processes in cell signaling and control of gene expression. Topics include the activation of intracellular signaling pathways; analysis of cellular responses; analysis of gene expression; analysis of protein activation; in silico analysis of signaling pathways; and the culmination of the above elements in an essay and assignment to indicate active understanding of the above processes. The skills days are designed to provide a perspective of how cutting edge molecular biological techniques are applied to tackle major research questions in modern biomedical research.
