After completing this course, students will master several techniques used in routine in a research laboratory. These techniques include: cloning, bacteria transformation, mini-preparation of plasmids, PCR, RT-qPCR, western blot, immunohistochemistry, and cell fractionation.
Students will learn new techniques including next-generation sequencing, taqman protein assay and digital PCR.
The major aim of this course is to train students in basic laboratory techniques and to prepare them for the laboratory internship.
Practicals spanning techniques of molecular and cellular biology
Oral exam: /10
Practicals: a final report is graded on 10
The exact modalities of the evaluation are likely to be modified during the preparation of the examination schedules, depending on the practical constraints with which the faculty administration may be confronted, or in the event of illness / force majeure / encroachment with an internship, or because of the health situation related to the coronavirus.
