Graduate students (MSc and PhD) in the research stream.
Course enrollment is capped at 20 students.
We give preference to LMP graduate students.
This module will introduce students with limited experience in molecular biology with basic techniques used in molecular biology.
We will focus on the theoretic basis of these approaches and on the strengths and weaknesses of the different techniques.
