About programme
Animal cell culture is a foundational technique in modern biotechnology, which involves in vitro growth and maintenance of animal cells in a highly controlled, artificial environment and is used as a reproducible system for a wide variety of life sciences, especially biomedical experiments. Cell culture finds application to study normal cell biology, disease mechanisms, to test drug efficiency and toxicity, to produce biopharmaceuticals, recombinant proteins, etc
This focused Short Certificate Course in Animal Cell Culture provides participants with the essential theoretical knowledge and practical understanding required to successfully establish and maintain animal cell lines in a laboratory setting.
