BIOL 603 Experimental techniques in Molecular Life Sciences

This course is devised to build the necessary experimental skillset for the students to be able to perform, analyze, and interpret scientific experiments in molecular life sciences. Importantly, the students will learn about the experimental techniques in 3 main domains: a) Computational methods and bioinformatics, b) techniques in different research themes that are protein-focused, and c) those that are based on the analysis of genetic material such as DNA and RNA. The course will also teach students the utility of experimental methods in microscopy that are used to determine and interpret certain outcomes in domains b) and c).
