The course is convenient for students as it should help the future graduates in their career in latoratory and/or clinical medicine as well as possibly in basic research. The students will learn the methods of cultivation of cells, fluorescent and confocal microscopies, immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridization, cell transfections, GFP technologies, mitotic spreadings, microinjections, electron microscopy, correlative microscopy, nanoparticles, isolation of RNA, restriction analyses, and PCR amplification.
The course will take place in the Institute of Biology and Medical Genetics, First Faculty of Medicine, Albertov 4, Prague 2. The course will encompass 5 days, every day from 8.30 up to 16.30 hours(including 45 minutes lunch).The course will be taught in English.
The first day of the course (Monday, February 11),it is necessary that the students come already at 8.15 hours in the seminar room number 1071 situated in the Purkyne Building, Albertov 4, Prague 2. The students are asked to bring with them a white laboratory coat.
