MICI 3620

This lab-based course is designed to give students an introduction to general lab procedures, molecular and cell biological techniques in bacterial pathogenesis, cancer cell biology, immunology, molecular genetics, or virology. In collaboration with the research supervisor, students will draft a learning agreement specifying learning outcomes and how these will be achieved. Students are expected to work an average of 7-10 hours per week in the laboratory of their research supervisor (minimum 72 hours per term). Lab research may be conducted in any laboratory that focuses on microbiology and immunology or a related discipline (e.g. cell biology, pharmacology), however the research supervisor or co-supervisor must be a member of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology.
