Course content:

The course aims to provide a broad overview of contemporary methodology in the field of Medical Biotechnology:

  • A selection of methods in current research in medical biotechnology, such as recombinant protein production, chromatography, methods for protein structure determination, microscopy, bioinformatics, immunoanalytical tools, biosensors, protein arrays, lab-on-a-chip, mammalian cell culturing, tissue engineering, gene silencing.
  • General theory behind the methods.
  • Insights into the practical procedure of the methods.
  • Knowledge of which scientific questions the methods can answer.
  • Orientation in how the methods are used today as a tool in the field of biotechnology

The specific methodologies will be decided based partly on interests of selected participants.

If this sounds interesting, please apply to the course via e-mail to ronnieja@kth.se  and johanni@kth.se  (deadline May 18th) and state name, year of PhD studies, department and research area. Any course-related questions are also very welcome.
