Abbreviated Title: CELL CULT TECH APP MOD
Prerequisite: Consent of instructor
Instructor: S.L. Voytik-Harbin
Technical Assistant: Beverly Waisner
This intensive laboratory module is designed to provide students from various disciplines (e.g., life science and engineering) with practical, hands-on experiences in the area of cell and tissue culture. Students will be taught the principles of culturing cells and tissues in vitro and will have the opportunity to apply state-of-the-art culturing techniques to both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional culture systems. Specific methodologies will focus on both qualitative and quantitative analysis of fundamental cell behavior including proliferation, differentiation, migration, and adhesion.
