Programme Highlights
Organised by the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, Division of Graduate Studies, this module aims to educate participants on current techniques in biomedical research, including molecular and cellular biology, protein analysis and animal modelling.
Participants will develop an understanding of the fundamental principles underlying common experimental techniques, as well as the advantages and limitations of each technique for specific research applications, to facilitate the critical analysis of experimental data. These techniques include the different ways to study nucleic acids, proteins and lipids, key recent advances such as next-generation sequencing and CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats), disease-specific approaches such as in stem cell and cancer biology, and the importance of big data analysis in the fast-evolving biomedical research landscape.
With this knowledge, participants will gain better productivity in the workplace and be able to contribute increasingly to cutting-edge research which improves overall healthcare delivery.
