BRON 314 1/10 This course introduces students to the fundamental elements associated with the upstream process of biologics with hands-on laboratory exercises which allow students to learn basic skills in working in a biotechnology laboratory. Emphasis will be placed on the mammalian cell culture system. A variety of medical products, such as vaccines, therapeutic proteins, anticancer drugs, and monoclonal antibodies, are manufactured through cell culture techniques. This course provides students with the essential technical skills to perform cell culture procedures and their application in biotechnology laboratories. Specific topics covered will include laboratory safety and procedure, pipetting and aseptic techniques, media formulation, culture of mammalian cells, in vitro cell proliferation, cell counting and viability assessments, cryopreservation methods, subculturing procedures, cell differentiation and transfection techniques, microscopic analysis, and good laboratory practices (GLP). In addition, students will gain knowledge in experimental design, analysis, and report writing. Open to BME Juniors & Seniors
