Description

BIOC0029 is a real-time, hands-on, inquiry-based course focussing on protein quality control and characterization. It allows you to design and perform experiments; analyse, and present relevant data; make and defend arguments; and troubleshoot.

We first run orientation labs during which you will get acquainted with and explore the techniques, equipment, reagents ... we have available in the specialist research laboratory and research facilities. Afterwards, you are free to create and investigate your own research questions using available resources during the inquiry labs.

We will:

  1. provide lectures, quizzes, tutorials, articles, handbooks, technical bulletins, and videos to help you develop an understanding of contemporary techniques used in biochemistry and biophysics and to help you create your own experimental protocols;
  2. assist you in the specialist research laboratory and research facilities by demonstrating the proper use of the equipment and software and helping you with troubleshooting and unexpected results; and
  3. support you with data analysis in Python, interpretation, and presentation.
