The summer school is a practical, full-immersion course covering biotechniques that can be applied to the study of several biological subjects related to cell biology, gene expression and ultrastructural observations. Its aim is to provide students with knowledge and hands-on experience in modern approaches to cell biology, molecular biology, and ultrastructural analysis.
The course will be divided in:
- a theoretical part organized in lectures covering modern technologies;
- a practical part in which participants will be hosted in the laboratories and will be directly involved in the design and execution of several experimental protocols regarding the main topics object of the lectures.
ECTS: 3 credit will be acknowledged by the University of Pisa, according to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), upon a final test covering the major topics. The test will be held remotely.
The Summer School will be held on campus, in Pisa, at Dipartimento di Scienze Biologiche, via Alessandro Volta, 4.
It will be activated with at least 4 students. The maximum number of participants is set to 20 students.
Tuition fees: 500€
Other costs: 100€ for didactic material
