Annual Course on Biomedical Research Techniques (IXth edition)

Introduction
PhD students (and others) often experience that not all expertise for biomedical techniques or assays they need to perform at their research project is readily available in their department. The Postgraduate school offers with this course the wonderful opportunity to exchange this expertise. This course is organized by and for PhD-students.

The program is set up in six half day sessions and is based on: DNA, RNA, Proteome, Cell, Tissue and organ.

The topics for the half day sessions of each day are:
Day 1: primers and probes, sequencing, SNP-analysis, methylation
Day 2: RNA, RNA expression arrays, RT PCR, siRNA, data & text mining
Day 3: site visit DNA/RNA labs; proteomes, mass spectrometry
Day 4: site visit proteome labs; ELISA, cytotoxicity, flow cytometry & phage antibody display
Day 5:Applied Molecular Imaging: Ultrasound, MRI, CT, Nuclear, Optical in vivo; Microscopy: Quantitative confocal microscopy, 4 Pi microscope, FRET, FRAP & computer modeling

There is a maximum of 70 participants for this course.
