This course led by Dr. M.H. Ghahremani focuses on cellular responses and their biochemical analysis. Participants will explore various methods to measure changes in cells, including morphological studies, proliferation analyses, and biochemical assays. The curriculum covers transcription changes, mRNA and protein level assessments through techniques like RT-PCR and Western blotting. Emphasis is placed on understanding second messengers, secretory chemicals, and enzymatic activities. By the end, participants will gain insights into cellular interactions and the methods used for accurate measurement and analysis.
