Molecular Biology Techniques A

The main aim of this practical course is to introduce students to an experimental environment in which they will learn the essential skills to perform experiments in the area of DNA recombinant technology (e.g. polymerase chain reaction, restriction enzymes) and protein analysis and detection techniques in molecular and cell biology (e.g. SDS-PAGE, immunoblotting). Students will learn to perform basic scientific experiments, keep track of the experimental protocols and reagents, process and evaluate data and concisely report their methods and findings.
