| AIM OF THE COURSE |
| The aim of the course is to supply knowledge about methods and applications more or less commonly used within cell biology and biochemistry. This includes various techniques for morphological and functional studies with light and electron microscopy and labelling of proteins using different immunological markers. Individual laboratory work is essential for understanding the applications and for qualitative and quantitative evaluations. |
| CONTENTS |
| Structure and function of pro- and eukaryotic cells, cell culture, phase and fluorescence microscopy, confocal microscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, porphometry, freeze fracturing, nuclear magnetic resonance. Labelling of proteins with fluorescent probes, enzymes and colloidal gold particles. |
| TEACHING |
The course includes lectures, tutorial groups and laboratory work.
The educational method used is problem-based learning (PBL). PBL emphasises the student´s development of free, self-supporting, lifelong learning ability as an instrument for critical inquiry. The students own queries and formulated problems form the basis of PBL. Important is also the student´s ability to take responibility for his/her own learning, and to take seek and evaluate information and knowledge and to train co-operation and flexible attitude to different views and ideas. |
| EXAMINATION |
Written laboratory reports, seminars and posters.
Students, which have not passed on the regular examination occasion, are normally offered four additional opportunities according to this syllabus, one of which is close in time to the first examination occasion. Students who have failed three times on the course or part of the course are entitled to request another examiner at the new examination occasion. |
| ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS |
Bachelor of Science in Biomedicine or other related subjects such as Medicine or Biology. At least three years of full-time undergraduate studies in a relevant main subject. For students in the Medical Biology Programme, 160 credits: Passed semester 1 to 5.
Obs! To be admitted to courses taught in English you must fulfil the requirement of at least one year of full-time undergraduate studies. Documented knowledge of English equivalent to "Engelska B" is required, or an international proficiency test, e.g. TOEFL, minimum score 550/213. |
