Education facts
Code: BI324G
An overview will be presented of the different model systems used within life science, describing how they have contributed to our understanding of biology. This includes microbial models (bacteria, yeast), animal models (Caenorhabditis elegans, banana fly, zebrafish, chicken, mouse, rat), plant models (Arabidopsis) and in vitro experimental models (cell cultures, organoids, stem cells). The pros and cons of the different models will be highlighted. Furthermore, the types of biological questions that can be studied and the methods used with each model system will be discussed. The ethical regulations governing the use of laboratory animals and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) will be introduced. A practical moment using and demonstrating selected models will be included.
Entry requirements
