Purpose and description of the content of education:
The Cell Culture module aims to introduce students to the fundamentals of cell culture and its conduct and use as a research model in molecular biology, medical biology and biophysics. Laboratory activities are designed to prepare the student to work in sterile conditions in a cell culture laboratory and familiarise them with basic research techniques for working with cells and tissues.
