Description This course will provide students with a suite of techniques to study and manipulate mouse tissues and eukaryotic cells in a laboratory setting. The course will include histological procedures, which are used in diagnostic labs for diagnosing diseases, such as cancer. Students will also process the tissues to culture eukaryotic cells. Cell culture is a core laboratory technique in many molecular biology, immunology, neurobiology and developmental biology laboratories. It is one of the fundamental techniques performed prior to molecular analysis, or for bio manufacturing of therapeutic proteins. Finally, students will be investigating protein expression in cells and/or tissues using immunochemistry principles. This course is designed to provide students with the necessary technical and scientific skills required in the biotechnology industry or graduate school.
