Application of Cell Culture in Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Research CSA744
Introduction
This unit will provide advanced training to obtain theoretical, analytical and laboratory skills around the use of mammalian cells, different assays, assay design, analysis, interpretation of results and immunohistochemistry of tissues in the field of pharmaceutical and biomedical science that are essential to successfully complete the required research project you will be conducting in Year 2 of the Master of Pharmaceutical Science program. The purpose of this unit is to enable the student to competently perform and critically assess advanced laboratory methods that are routinely used in Drug Discovery and Development.
