Description

This module is a component of the course “Current Methods in Molecular and Translational Biology” that is designed to introduce students to the various OMICS research methods applicable to their research studies. It provides an overview of cutting-edge knowledge and techniques in OMICS, covering concepts, analytical skills, and experimental approaches. Over 12 lectures, students will learn essential techniques and approaches for systematically investigating proteins, lipids, metabolites, RNA, modified RNA, DNA, histones, and chromatin architecture using unbiased research methods and thinking to understand biological processes on a genome-wide scale. The lecturers, having applied these techniques in their own research, will share personal insights and experiences, highlighting the practical applications and real-world implementation of these technologies to facilitate students' research.  Audit is permitted.
