Investigations in Membrane Biochemistry I

Catalog description

This course will involve training in how to design, conduct, and analyze independent research in Membrane Biochemistry. This course will provide training in the procedures to investigate cell membrane fluidity as well as chemical composition, and external factors that modify these parameters (i.e. diet, drugs, Ethanol and/or toxic agents). EPR and lipid analysis by HPLC will be used. These studies will be expected to answer new questions and to generate novel data, as opposed to reproducing experiments that have been performed before.
