Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Scientific skills
    • Implement and independently carry out an experimental approach, validate a model by comparing its predications with experimental results, assess the limitations of the model's validity, and identify sources or error.
  • Professional integration skills
    • Invest their knowledge and skills in professional scenarios

Learning Outcomes of UE

Laboratory methods and technologies for studying cancer. The course will be teached in english.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

This course will present a broad overview of current laboratory methods and technologies as well as strategies for studying cancer at both fundamental and translational level. Different principles will be studied: transfection for gene overexpression or deletion (CRISPR-Cas9); cell proliferation, survival, clonogenic analysis, cell cycle, senescence, apoptosis; cell motility, migration, invasion; study of cell signaling pathways (Phospho arrays, RPPA, PamGene); seahorse-type metabolism and by NMR; Next Generation Sequencing (NGS); Digital PCR; analyze statistics; analyze database. In addition, the link between laboratory research and clinical trials will be assessed.
