What is MCB Laboratory Cell Biology Specialization?
This specialization will provides understanding the principles of basic cell biology techniques which is designed to introduce the practice of laboratory cell culture and optimized procedures, covering topics such as laboratory set-up, safety, and aseptic techniques. It will give researchers and students a framework for further research and experimentation.
Provides understanding the principles of basic cellular analysis mainly assessing cell proliferation, cell viability and cell function which will develop into studies to identify and map many of the basic biochemical and physical processes of life. It will give researchers and students a framework for further research to better understand, predict, the factors that underlie cell health, proliferation, function, and death.
