Experimental Cell Biology II- Period 1

In-depth discussion of modern Cell Biology, with a particular focus on current and emerging experimental techniques. In Research Lectures, current state-of-the-art topics in Cell Biology will be discussed. Lecture topics include advanced -omic approaches, such as genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and interactomics. Research lectures on:
- Protein (GFP) labeling and visualization techniques
- (Confocal) Microscopy and Live Cell Imaging
- Proteomics and mass spectrometry
- Systems Biology
- Knock-out and RNAi techniques
- Interactomics techniques
- Cell biology of the synapse

The student will work out and submit a research proposal on a chosen topic in Cell Biology (group work).

Contact hours listed under a course description may vary due to the combination of lecture-based and independent work required for each course therefore, CEA's recommended credits are based on the ECTS credits assigned by VU Amsterdam. 1 ECTS equals 28 contact hours assigned by VU Amsterdam.
