BIM 6065B: Genetic Models of Cancer

Description

This optional module, worth 1 credit, offers laboratory training on cell analysis by microscopy and flow cytometry using transgenic mice, C. elegans and Drosophila melanogaster models. It aims at familiarizing students with techniques for 1) dissection and cell analysis using model organisms, 2) mouse transgenesis, 3) flow cytometry and data analysis, and 4) confocal microscopy. This module includes visits and/or use of several IRIC core facilities (i.e. Flow cytometry, Bioimaging, Transgenesis), lectures (e.g. on bioimaging tools) and demonstrations leading to various assignments.
