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. 

 

 

Important information:

The online course will be carried out through the e-learning platform: IVIRMA Campus. The student will receive a message with the access information and credentials 24/48 hours before the start of the course.

IVIRMA Campus can be accessed from Windows computers (7, 8 or 10) or Mac, using Chrome or Firefox in its last three versions. Access from mobile devices is not supported and does not ensure the correct operation of the course.

To successfully complete the training and obtain the corresponding certificate, the student must obtain a percentage greater than or equal to 70% of correct answers in the final evaluation. To do this, you will have two opportunities to take the exam.

Skills

Learning outcomes expected to be acquired by the student at the end of the course:

1. Recognize the fundamentals of basic research, emphasizing the lines of research related to Human Reproduction.

2. Apply to Human Reproduction basic research techniques, including cell culture, isolation and study of proteins (proteomics) and nucleic acids (genomics).

3. Recognize the process of preparation and classification of research projects.

4. Apply the methodology of practical research: state of the question, working hypotheses, search for sources, reasoned presentation of arguments and formulation of conclusions.

5. Develop a critical point of view on published articles.
