Course content
In this course students will learn about light microscopy and electron microscopy and will learn about molecular imaging techniques with a focus on imaging innate immune cell activation. The course will provide the theoretical background on diverse imaging techniques that can be applied to study innate immune activation. Students will have practical training in imaging.
Learning outcome
After completing the course the student:
-has learned about general concepts of fluorecence imaging
-has gained insigt into different types of imaging used in biomedical research, such as confocal laser scanning microscopy (LSM), stimulated emission depletion microscopy (STED) and electron microscopy (EM).
-has had hands on wet lab experience with microscopes and has imaged biological samples
-has learned about techniques allowing to measure molecular interactions by microscopy such as FRET
-knows innate immunity pathways and how these can be captured by microscopy
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, wet-lab training, hands-on microscopy studies, home assignment.
The lectures are given in week 39, with examination 2-3 weeks later.
Compulsory assignments
- Assignment
- Attendance in lectures
Recommended previous knowledge
Fundamental skills in medicine, immunologu, cell biology and molecular biology at master degree level.
Required previous knowledge
