Course details
Course code: BBS20178o11Semester: 2011/2012 summer
Name: Cells and biological molecules histochemical marking
Major: Biology
Study Type: second cycle
Course type: compulsory
Study Semester: 2
ECTS points: 5
Hours (Lectures / Tutorials / Other): 15 / 30 / 0
Lecturer: dr Krzysztof Marycz
Language of instruction: Polish
Learning outcomes: Students obtain theoretical knowledge of histochemical and cytochemical techniques together with practical skills of performing particular procedures, as well as, interpreting theirs results. Additionally, students learn how to plane biological experiments involving localization and identification of molecular components, metabolic activities and cell biological aspects of cells and tissues.
Competences: The course allows students for independent choice of histochemical and cytochemical methodology and for carrying analysis of obtained data required for their bachelor and master thesis. Students are also able to interpret results of research papers, which can be incorporated as references for their bachelor or master thesis. After course completion students posses skills enabling them to work in institutions dealing with planning and overtaking cyto- and histochemical procedures testing.
Prerequisites: cell biology, histology, anatomy
Course content: Stable isotopes marking methods of nucleic acids, protein, lipids, carbohydrates and others biologically active molecules, non isotopes marking methods of biological macromolecules, in vivo and in vitro cytochemistry, markers factors of particular cell compartments and organelles, signals detection methods used in histochemical and cytochemical techniques.
