Integrated Practicals of Molecular Biotechnology

Description

This course can only be taken by students from the Master of Bioscience Engineering: Cellular and Genetic Engineering. ~~~ Provide the students with experimental skills and expertise in methods in molecular biology, immunology, genetic manipulation of organisms, data analysis and bioinformatics. These practical sessions support the theoretical basis obtained in the major-specific courses, in particular genetics, genome technology and bio-informatics. These practical sessions also aim to integrate the genetic, gene technology, genomic, proteomic and immunologic facets in the same experiment or sets of experiments, supported by bioinformatics analysis methods and data building, and thereby emphasize the cohesion and connection between the various courses. Furthermore, students learn to analyze, interpret and connect different types of data. The student maintains/acquires awareness of the plagiarism and GenAI use policy of KU Leuven and the faculty. If, for reasons of force majeure, the faculty decides that the laboratory sessions cannot go ahead in their current form, compulsory attendance will be waived. The changes resulting from the force majeure situation will be announced on Toledo as soon as they are known.
