NBIK11009U Experimental Cell Biology
MSc Programme in Biology
The exercises are divided into different cell biology topics and include a diversity of techniques. For example: growth and transfection of mammalian tissue cell cultures, differentiation and protein interaction assays, tracer techniques to estimate unidirectional transport of organic compunds, fluorescence associated cell sorting, western blots with using different antibodies, quantitave and qualitative cell death assays and bacterial infections. The different techniques will be applied to several types of cells and model organisms.
The student will obtain a broad understanding of key methods in
practical cell biology through laboratory exercises, reading of
research articles, discussions and presentations.
Knowledge:
The student will obtain knowledge about growth and transfection of
mammalian tissue cell cultures, differentiation and protein
interaction assays, tracer techniques to estimate unidirectional
transport of organic compounds, fluorescence associated cell
sorting, western blots using different antibodies, quantitave and
qualitative cell death assays and bacterial infections.
Skills:
The student will be able to address and answer new questions in
cell biology with a variety of techniques. In addition, the
students will be trained in presenting their own work and research
papers in different ways.
Competencies:
The student will get practical competences in laboratory work and
in reading primary research papers. These competences will be
obtained through laboratory exercises, reading of research
articles, discussions and presentations.
