COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Title: Practical Approaches to Studying Protein Function
This course is designed for graduate students with advanced molecular biology background and fellows who want to pursue a career as a biomedical researcher. The course covers experimental methodologies (standard and latest advances) that are designed to investigate protein function in general and during disease conditions. Various instructors with different expertise and areas of interest will present and discuss these topics. Using examples from their current research or peer-reviewed published articles, novel approaches from in silico analysis to general laboratory techniques and animal models to study proteins’ function will be presented, discussed, and analyzed.
Prerequisites: GSND N500A or GSND5200Q
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
- The objective of this course is to advance our current knowledge of methods used to study protein function, esp. during disease conditions, mostly cardiovascular.
- The students will be introduced to latest techniques that are being used in research laboratories.
