This course aims to introduce to postgraduate research students at the CityU Suzhou campus the scope of Cell and Molecular Biology with a strong emphasis on first hand experience.  The students will learn about molecular and cell biology in the context of the latest technological development.  The students will acquire various techniques for basic molecular and cell biology experiments and extend to work on the model organism C elegans.  The aim is to encourage students to consider their own research projects and interests based on the knowledge and techniques acquired in this course.  This is an intensive 3-week course based entirely on coursework and is not research project-oriented.  The students are expected to complete a pre-course reading assignment.
