>>Web: http://student.mit.edu/@7095031.28615/catalog/mBEa.html#BE.309
>>
>>This course explores the instrumentation at the cutting edge of 
>>medicine and biotechnology through four focused laboratory modules:
>>Module 1 - Pangenomics: identifying genetic risk factors in common 
>>diseases in human populations using high throughput mutational 
>>spectrometry. (W. Thilly, I. Hunter)
>>Module 2 - Imaging techniques for assessing cellular morphology and 
>>behavior in tissue engineering. (P. So, B. Engelward, L. Griffith)
>>Module 3 - Proteomic analysis using electrophoresis and mass 
>>spectrometry.  (F. White, C. F. Dewey)
>>Module 4 - Exploring molecular mechanics using atomic force 
>>microscopy and optical trapping.  (S. Manalis, M. Lang)
>>
>>Instrumentation utilized:
>>mass spectrometry, gel and capillary electrophoresis, atomic force 
>>microscopy, optical trap, optical spectroscopy, optical 2D and 3D 
>>microscopy
>>
>>Biological techniques:
>>cell and tissue culture, immuno-labelling and staining, apoptosis 
>>and live/dead assay, protein purification, signal and image analysis
>>
>>Please send any questions regarding BE.309 to Prof. Peter So (ptso at mit.edu).
