About the course

Course content

Fundamental principles within functional genomics, emphasizing the transcriptome and the proteome. Hypothesis generation/ experimental design. Microarray-technology. Structure biology. Experimental model systems. Heterologous expression. Imaging.
Protein separation (2D-PAGE, 2D-LC). Mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF, ESI-MS). Protein structure analysis (X-ray chrystallography, NMR). Ethical perspectives within functional genomics and genetic risk information.

Learning outcome

The students shall gain insight into fundamental principles within functional genomics and how this area of research contributes to development of new knowledge in basic biomedical science as well as to development of improved diagnostics and treatment of disease. The students shall also be able to understand the interplay of biomedicine, bioinformatics and bioethics within this field of research and be able to design and carry out studies within functional genomics based on microarray and mass spectrometry.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, laboratory course. The lectures are held in the spring semester, and start in early February. The language of instruction and examination is English.
