CL2200 - Introduction to Immunology

Function and organization of the immune system. B-cells, antibody-antigen interaction, functions of T-cells, tolerance, hypersensitivity and auto-immunity. Complement and its control mechanisms. HLA and MHC. Transplantation, cytokine, host immune response and strategies of pathogens to evade host immune system, immunoassays and diagnostic kits

In short: Tham's cell tech + Chiminology

CL2201: Molecular Genetics

(Takes deep breath...) Topics include: Transformation, transfection and transduction ; pioneering studies on bacterial genetics, use of mutants; positive and negative gene regulation;mechanisms of gene regulation at the level of transcription; chromatin structure;mutation, DNA damage and repair; gene cloning, vectors (plasmids, cosmids, yeast artificial chromosomes), gene libraries and gene sequencing, mechanisms of genetic recombination; DNA methylation; RNA processing;mRNA localization and protein synthesis and degradation. Methods used to study gene expression: Gene chop, DNA microarray, bead technology. Gene therapy.

In short: MBT + Chiminology

CL2202: Bioinformatics

This module covers the basic of bioinformatics. It introduces the students to the various computer programmes available for text based seaches on PubMed, sequence analysis of DNA and protein, phylogenetics and molecular modelling, as well as the application of bioinformatics on drug design, finding homologoes and comparative genomics.

In short: Computers + basic yahoo/google search techniques + chim language

CL2203: Protein Language

This module introduces students to techniques for protein purification, the methods of studying protein interaction with itself and other molecules as well as industrial uses of immobilised enzymes and protein engineering.

CL2204: Bioprocess technology

Prepares students with the scientific principles and technical skills in support of bio-reaction and downstream processing in research and industrial settings.

CL2206: Medical Microbiology
