Course description
This course will introduce you to key skills required to carry out modern molecular biological research. By the end of this course, you will have an understanding of how many commonly used molecular biological techniques work, as well as their advantages and limitations, together with the fundamentals of experimental design and the ethical considerations of research. To get to this point you will reinforce and apply material learnt in lectures and tutorials in regular laboratory practical sessions where the detection, quantification, characterisation, and purification of proteins and nucleic acids will be explored.
