Course Description

This course discusses the fundamental aspects of cell culture, emphasizing how cell structure and function are a vital starting points in the in vitro setting. In addition, it examines the basics of in vitro experiments, what kind of research is done in cell culture. Therefore, this course aims to give the participants theoretical and practical knowledge about the cytotoxicity, genotoxicity and apoptosis at cell culture techniques used for different purposes in the R&D cell culture laboratory.
