Examination board
Examination board not defined
| Prerequisites: | Master-thesis level knowledge of molecular and cell biology, microbiology; basic notions in mouse transgenesis. |
| Target skills and knowledge: | The course will focus on the discussion and analysis of available experimental model systems used in medical and biological research, including cell cultures (primary, immortalized), organoids, animal models. The course entails a series of seminars from researchers working on different model systems, and a journal-club activity where students will be asked to critically dissect the pros and cons of available experimental models. |
| Examination methods: | The course is being completely updated and will be held by new teachers; final examination will be likely based on a written essay and on public discussion of this essay together with the teachers and the class. |
| Assessment criteria: | The final evaluation will take into account the ability od the student to understand the usefulness and limitations of any given experimental model, and to critically assess the advantages and disadvantages associated to the use of that experimental model system. |
| Course unit contents: | The course will focus on the discussion and analysis of available experimental model systems used in medical and biological research, including cell cultures (primary, immortalized), organoids, animal models.
