Cell Biology in Practice
1655-Lek21ZF10-J
The Cell Biology in Practice course aims to develop practical skills related to the analysis of cellular structures and processes. A key element of the course is learning how to stain cells and tissues to visualize specific cellular structures. Participants also learn the basics of migration analysis, morphology, and the use of bioinformatics databases. The course is practical and requires active participation in laboratory experiments. Particular emphasis is placed on independent analysis and interpretation of results in the context of cell biology.
