3203078 Principles and Techniques to Test Cell physiology 3.0 3
Description This course focuses on hands-on training of basic cell laboratory skills. The purpose is to help students understand cell physiology. The main curriculum contains 1. measuring cell growth and metabolism; 2. observing cell morphology. There will also be speakers from the industry and academic institutes to talk about more specific applications. The class contains the following topics: 1. Cell metabolism and viability (Experiment: measure cell viability) 2. Cell growth (Experiment: Cell counting) 3. Proteins and DNA (Experiment: DNA quantification) 4. Cell intermediate and final products (Experiment: quantification of cellular products and ELISA) 5. Tissue physiology (Experiment: fluorescent stain of cells) 6. Cell morphology (Experiment: histological stain of cells) Cellular interactions with biomedical materials.
