Immunobiology Laboratory |
| Prerequisite |
BIOL 350 |
| Course Outline |
Course Outline |
| Description |
The goal of this laboratory is to provide students with a hands-on experience in Immunobiology. The lab will introduce students to research models and techniques, which are required to gain a comprehensive understanding of the immune system. Knowledge of immune system is central to our understanding of health and disease. Additionally, Immunology based techniques are of significant importance in many other disciplines such as molecular biology, neurobiology, developmental biology and biochemistry, and are directly applicable to design of therapeutics and diagnostics. |
