Technologies Across Scale - TRBIO400
Course Directors: Andrew Ward and Curt Wittenberg
Term: Winter
Credits: 3
Course Description
Technologies Across Scale introduces students to both the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of powerful contemporary research technologies employed by research scientists across disciplines. The course is designed to arm students with skills necessary to implement these technologies in their research and to critically evaluate data generated through their application in the literature. Technologies covered in the course include flow cytometry, light microscopy, image analysis, EM structure determination, DNA sequencing and analysis, and metabolomics. These technologies will be applied to the analysis of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) and the HIV envelope glycoprotein.
