COURSE OBJECTIVES

It is the laboratory course which provides hand-on training in current cell biological methods such as animal cell culture, microscopy, PCR, SDS-PAGE, fluorescence staining of cellular organelles, immunostaining etc. This laboratory course is designed to familiarize students with techniques used in cell biology. By the end of the semester you should be familiar with: cell identification, cell culture, cell and organellar staining, enzyme kinetics, protein measurement, and SDS-PAGE.
