From Genes to Cells: a Basic Course of Molecular, Cellular and Ultrastructural Biology

This summer school is a practical, full-immersion course covering biotechniques that can be applied to the study of several biological subjects related to cell biology, gene expression and function analysis, genotoxicity and ultrastructural observations.

The course will be divided in:

a) a theoretical part organized in lectures covering modern technologies;

b) a practical part in which participants will be hosted in the laboratories and will be directly involved in the design and execution of several experimental protocols regarding the main topics object of the lectures.

Should the restrictions on student mobility and on-site teaching activities persist, the program will be activated in distance learning mode and it will be entirely held online, via Microsoft Teams.
Should it be necessary to activate the Summer School online, more information on the program will be published by March 2021.
