Description

This course will explain different molecular and cell biology techniques that are used most frequently in the field of assisted reproduction. Among them, we will consider techniques to study nucleic acids such as PCR, quantitative PCR, and expression arrays.

Regarding the study of proteins, we will include Western blot, ELISA, immunohistochemistry and global proteomic techniques such as DIGE or liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. In addition, we will also explain how to work in a cell culture laboratory, and we will detail several cell models that are usually handled in research such as immortalized cell lines or animal models such as rats or mice.

We will also study massive sequencing techniques, introduction to statistics and all aspects related to the elaboration of a research project.

Addressed to

Biomedical Professionals, Biotechnologists, Andrologists and Embryologists
