Vakinhoudelijk
PLEASE NOTE: During this course, there are mandatory components that involve working with animal material.
Prerequisites: The course Molecular Biology (or Cell Biology, MBLS-101), the Cell ( or Genomes, Cells and Tissues, MBLS-204) , and Molecular Genetic Research Techniques (MGOT) (or Molecular Biology & Biochemical Techniques, MBLS-202) are mandatory. If you are following the Neurobiology study path, the level 2 Neurobiology course is required.
Recommended: Metabolisme en Biochemie (or Membranes & Metabolism, MBLS-206)
Highly recommended: The course “Cellen en Weefsels” course (level 3).
The capacity of this practical course is limited. The course Research Design and Analysis - Molecular and Cellular Biology (B-B3RDA21) is a full theoretical alternative.
Study path: This course is part of the Cell Biology and Neurobiology study paths. It's also useful for students who want to pursue a master's degree in Molecular and Cellular Life Sciences (MCLS) or Neuroscience and cognition.
Language: The course will be taught in English but some components can be done in Dutch if preferred by the student. These are; questions during the lectures, the lab report and answers on the exam.
Content: The aim of this course is to expose you to all aspects of scientific research within the research themes of the Department of Cell Biology, Neurobiology and Biophysics (see website http://cellbiology.science.uu.nl/). The course consists of 2 parts.
In part 1, the staff members of the Department of Cell Biology, Neurobiology and Biophysics present their ongoing research. This includes attention to the underlying theory (mainly knowledge from the book "Molecular Biology of the Cell") as well as the most recent results and insights from their research. In addition, you will carry out a number of assignments, including writing a review report about an article followed by a discussion with the author of this article. This part of the course concludes with a digital exam.
In part 2 of the course, you will conduct research in groups and write an application for funding a research plan. During the practical, you will clone a construct in a laboratory that will be used to study one of the department's themes. After cloning, the constructs will be transfected and a protein-protein interaction study will be conducted. The practical part concludes with writing a report in the form of an article.
Writing a grant application is supervised by an experienced Cell Biologist. The application is written in the format of applications for the "open program" for earth and life sciences. The final application is presented and defended before a committee of experts. The presentation, defense, and the written proposal are evaluated as a whole with a grade.

Grading & Assessment:
Several components are evaluated during this course. The test from part 1 determines 30% , the research proposal 30%, the labreport 30% and the review-assignment 20% of the final grade. For all components, at least a 5.0 must be achieved.
Active participation and presence for the lectures and the practicals is mandatory.
Study Material: Recomended: The book "Molecular Biology of the Cell" by Alberts

Teaching formats:
- During the lectures the group's staff members present the latest results of their research and the underlying theory.
- For the laboratory, you will design your mutation using e-learning modules. Then you will explore the various steps of the laboratory with labbudy before performing them during the lab. You will analyze the effect of your mutation using the results of the lab. You will include the results in a report.
- The research proposal will be a group assignment where you will write a research proposal to obtain funding based on one of the research lines of the cell biology department.
