- Prerequisites
- VLBI0222p Biology II-lect. || ZLBI0222p Biology II-lect. || PřF:Bi1700 Cell Biology || VSBI0222p Biology II-lect.
Students need to have cell biology knowledge at the level of 1st year of university, proven with an exam (VLBI0222p, ZLBI0222p or Bi1700), knowledge of Czech language. - Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
The capacity limit for the course is 15 student(s).
Current registration and enrolment status: enrolled: 9/15, only registered: 0/15 - fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- General Medicine (programme LF, M-VL) (2)
- Dentistry (programme LF, M-ZL) (2)
- Course objectives
- After completion of the course student: gets an overview of currently used methods of molecular and cell imaging and analysis; and will see some of their applications in practice. Students will see following laboratories and devices in operation: imaging of biomolecules in cells and tissues (cell-imaging); confocal microscopy; flow-cytometry. Students will understand the principle and possibilities of application of these methods; will be more familiar with the modern study of biological material and their use in biomedical research and modern medicine, and will be capable of basic interpretation of results obtained from these methods.
- Learning outcomes
- Students will understand the principle and possibilities of application of these methods; will be more familiar with the modern study of biological material and their use in biomedical research and modern medicine, and will be capable of basic interpretation of results obtained from these methods.
