course aims in English
The aim of this course is to teach of applied technologies of molecular and cell biology.
learning outcomes in the course in Est.
Üliõpilane tunneb ära põhilisi molekulaar- ja rakubioloogilisi tehnoloogiaid ning selgitab nende rakendusvõimalusi, sh:
- rekombinantse DNA-põhiseid tehnoloogiaid;
- massandmete analüüsimeetodeid;
- rakkude uurimismeetodeid ja tehnoloogilisi rakendusvõimalusi;
- kuvamismeetodite põhimõtet;
- kasutab omandatud teadmisi järgnevates ainekursustes;
- kasutab korrektselt terminoloogiat.
learning outcomes in the course in Eng.
The student recognizes basic and advanced methods currently practiced in molecular and cell science, and explains their applications in following fields:
- recombinant DNA techniques;
- big data analysis techniques;
- cell research methods and technological applications;
- live cell and whole body imaging methods;
- uses the acquired knowledge and skills in other disciplines;
- uses correct terminology.
brief description of the course in Estonian
Sissejuhatus ainesse. Molekulaarbioloogia tehnoloogiad: rekombinantse DNA-põhised, sh kloonimine, knock-out’id, ja geneetilise analüüs, sh ekspressioonanalüüsi meetodid (DNA/RNASeq), CRISPR-seoseline genoomi modifitseerimine, mikro- ja nanofluidika, mass-andmete analüüsivõimalused (genoomika, bioinformaatika, statistika) Rakubioloogia-alased: rakkude kasvatamine koekultuuris (primaar-rakud, transformeeritud rakud, 2D, 3D ja organoidide kultuurid, organ-on-chip), ravimite arenduse ja skriinimisetehnoloogiad, valkude-rakkude-organismi in vivo ja ex vivo kuvamismeetodid, rakendused närvirakkudes, vähirakkudes ja regeneratiivses meditsiinis
brief description of the course in English
Introduction to the subject.
Molecular biology technologies: recombinant DNA-based, including cloning, gene knock-out and genetic analysis methods, including expression analysis (DNA / RNASeq), CRISPR-related genome modification, micro- and nanofluidics, mass-data analysis (genomics, bioinformatics, statistics) Cell biology: cell culture methods (primary cells, transformed cells, 2D, 3D and organoid culture methods, organ-on-chip), drug development and screening technologies, protein-cell-organism in and ex vivo imaging methods, applications in nerve cells, cancer cells and regenerative medicine
type of assessment in Estonian
Loengutes osalemine on 100% ainekursuse ulatuses kohustuslik. Loengust puudumise korral koostab tudeng vastava loengu teemal essee (2 lk) koos korrektse viitamisega viimaste aastate (2025-2026) teaduskirjandusele.
type of assessment in English
Attendance at lectures is 100% mandatory for the course. In case of absence from a lecture, the student must write an essay (2 pages) on the topic of the missed lecture, with proper referencing of scientific literature from the most recent years (2025-2026)
