Handbook

This course focuses on molecular biology techniques commonly used in biomedical research. Using examples from research performed in the School of BABS, students will gain practical experience in a variety of experimental methods including cell culture, RNA interference, second and third generation sequencing technologies, and statistical data analysis. The practical laboratory sessions will be supported by lectures that will introduce students to the latest technologies and methodologies in a variety of fields in biomedical sciences and present examples of how these are applied in research. This course is an excellent opportunity for students to acquire skills essential for successful completion of an Honours project in the molecular biology sciences.
