Id: 042356 Credits: 3-3

Description

This laboratory course is designed to teach students (bio)analytical and microbiological techniques commonly used for the detection/diagnosis or study of diseases and pathogens. More specifically, the laboratory sessions will teach techniques that are commonly used for the detection of bacteria, viruses and disease biomarkers (proteins, antibodies, and nucleic acids). Emphasis will be given also to modern bioanalytical techniques that assist the development of new bioassays and biosensors for pathogens and disease diagnostics. The laboratory work will be combined with discussion of the theoretical background of each technique. This laboratory course is open to graduate students in chemistry, biology, chemical engineering and related fields.
