This course aims to give theoretical and practical fundamentals of cell and tissue culture techniques, divided in 4 modules
During the last 7 years, the Cell Culture and Tissue Training Course has become an important tool for students, researchers and all the professionals in the field of biomedical sciences, allowing the implementation of new approaches on their research.
The 8th edition of Cell Culture Course - Beyond Microscope, Culturing Life! will take place in a new modules-based format. This course aims to give theoretical and practical fundamentals of cell and tissue culture techniques, divided in 4 modules: Basic Cell Culture Concepts; Cell Culture Methods, Techniques and Applications I; Cell Culture Methods, Techniques and Applications II and Advanced Cell Culture Methods, Techniques and Applications.
This year adapted to the contingency of the current situation due to COVID-19 pandemic, the course will be held during July in a hybrid format, where the theoretical component will be online and the practical component will be on site.
The course can be attended in two modalities:
Full course (theoretical online + practical on site) with 4 ECTS
The practical component course (on site) will be held during 2 full days, in a period to be agreed with the laboratory and the participants, in July, August or September.
Theoretical course (online) with 2 ECTS accreditation
Theoretical component will be held on days 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd of July.
Daily registrations for theoretical components (online) will also be available.
We expect you to enjoy this course!
