About the course

This course will equip you with advanced skills in mammalian cell biology and provide a framework with which to design your own experiments. The lab practicals take place in small groups with a tutor and a dedicated team of technicians on hand.

There are many Q&A opportunities with Professor Gout and the other scientists teaching on this course. There is also a reception party where you can network with your colleagues.

Testimonials

Hands-on experience, ready availability of tutors and help. They were so patient! :)

Low student/tutor ratio, relaxed, no time pressure when performing experiments

The dry lab practical showed me how to quantify data. The short lectures before the experiments were a great intro to the bigger picture and made me lesss anxious.

Hands-on experience with tissue culture and lectures from experienced scientists. Social interaction with a group of individuals from diverse backgrounds

tutorship was good. Low-stress environment

The group structure helped everyone to be involved in practicals. Good networking

Thoroughly enjoyable course that gave much needed insight into mammalian lab techniques that I had little experience in prior to this course. I would definitely recommend this course to my peers.“
