Course description
This course allows students to gain core molecular biological laboratory skills. This course focuses on techniques and protocols used in molecular biology providing an in-depth understanding of the principles behind them. Students will also gain experience in the interpretation of protocols, dealing with and interconverting units, and communicating results in a number of commonly used means. This course is designed for students who will soon be, or are currently, undertaking a lab-based research project and is one of the core courses of the Master of Molecular Biology programme.
