Brief description of content
The lab course will introduce laboratory methods and techniques from the fields of physics, chemistry, genetics, micro-, molecular and cell biology, genetechnology, bioengineering and robotics.. Students will get both theoretical knowledge and practical experience in different methods like chemical titration, Western blot, PCR, Gel elecrtophoresis, DNA extraction, use microscope to determine bacteria, get hands-on expirience in LEGO robot construction. Furthermore, students will learn how to write scientific report, analyse the obtained results, troubleshoot. Students will complete practical assignments and tests, write and submit reports.
Students will improve their skills in:
1) writing scientific report
2) analysing the results of the experiment
Students will learn to operate simple light microscope, construct LEGO robot.
