Primary Subject Area: Biology
Instruction in: English
Course Code: AB_1266
Transcript Source: Partner Institution
Course Details: Level 300
Recommended Semester Credits: 3
Contact Hours: 84
Prerequisites: Since this course involves immunology, students should have passed the bachelor course 'Immunologie' (Biomedical Sciences) or 'Celbiologie en Immunologie'(Gezondheid en Leven) or similar.
DESCRIPTION
The main goal of this course is to introduce students to the current techniques used and also to introduce them to novel methods and models under development within academia and industry. This will include animal models, human organoid models and organ-on-chip models together with a multitude of analysis methods. Hands-on experience with several techniques will be included. The practical training is based around the theme of allergic contact dermatitis and includes immunohistochemistry on skin biopsies, chemical exposure of reconstructed human skin models and ELISA, as well as chemical exposure of dendritic cells and flow cytometry analysis.
The student will be introduced to interactive activities in the form of workshops and discussions. In addition, this course will advance the immunological knowledge already obtained in bachelor courses. The course will prepare students for biomedical science internships and the master specialization Immunology.
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam) awards credits based on the ECTS system. Contact hours listed under a course description may vary due to the combination of lecture-based and independent work required for each course therefore, CEA's recommended credits are based on the ECTS credits assigned by VU Amsterdam. 1 ECTS equals 28 contact hours assigned by VU Amsterdam.
