What is the actual content of this course?

Bioanalytics indicates that it is about analytical methods and concepts in biological sciences. Specially, molecular biology will be included.

This is online, internet-based education. We do not have scheduled class times, but we will have deadlines. You will need to complete certain aspects of your program by certain dates  or in specific order, but you will be able to decide when you do the work.

Firstly we refresh the knowledge about biomolecules such as carbs, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids and biological organisms like viruses, bacteria, procaryotic and eucariotic cells. These knowledge is fundamental in bioanalytical laboratories.

Then we go through basic methods applied:

Types of centrifugation

Concentration methods

Staining techniques

Culturing

DNA extraction

Gelelectrophoresis, fingerprinting

Restriction enzymes, ligation

Nucleic acid amplification: PCR, RT-PCR, strand displacement methods (LAMP)

Sequencing

Genomics

Epigenetics, proteomics

Basics of analytical chemistry
