Osaamistavoitteet
The student will be introduced to a variety of experimental techniques and analysis tools in quantitative, single cell biology studies. The aim is to provide understanding on techniques of single cell observation and on how to interpret the results. The focus of this course will be the manipulation and measurements of gene expression in prokaryotic systems using live cell multi-modal microscopy systems and flow cytometry. The model organism will be Escherichia coli. Finally, students will gain understanding of the objectives, applicability and limitations of the methods used in quantitative single cell biology studies. Several of the lectures will be in a laboratory, so that the students become knowledgeable in handling the devices, such as microscopes and flow cytometers. The classes will be held at: D502, Arvo Building
