BIOL 349 - Advanced Cell Biology Laboratory

The laboratory course employs an investigative project approach and introduces students to the scientific literature, “research proposal” writing, and latest technologies used to investigate cellular function. The experiments focus on the cancer cell as a model and employ such techniques as cell culture, assays measuring cell proliferation and apoptosis, RNA isolation and microarray analysis, immunocytochemistry, and finally, protein analysis through gel electrophoresis and Western blotting. One 3-hour laboratory per week. Students may take BIOL 348 either prior to enrollment in or concurrently with the class.
