| Swedish title | Translationsstrategier inom kardiovaskulär forskning |
|---|---|
| English title | Translational Strategies in Cardiovascular Research |
| Course number | 5528 |
| Credits | 1.5 |
| Responsible KI department | Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery |
| Specific entry requirements | |
| Grading | Passed /Not passed |
| Established by | The Committee for Doctoral Education |
| Established | 2021-09-13 |
| Purpose of the course | The purpose of the course is to enable doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows to obtain in-depth knowledge on new scientific advancements in cardiovascular research, and hands-on experience on methodology/techniques of in vitro, ex vivo, in vivo approaches, as well as biobank data and sequencing data analysis.
|
| Intended learning outcomes | At the end of the course the participant should be able to:
- Be able to describe the novel clinical and basic strategies in cardiovascular research, including specific biobank definition and set up approaches, novel in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo experimental methods. - Be able to design a preliminary study to observe the pathological alterations in cardiovascular diseases, either as a biomarker or therapeutic targets. - Have obtained knowledge on how to practically perform, analyze and interpret in vitro, ex vivo experiments for cardiovascular studies (eg. ISH, transfection, quantitative live-cell assaysl). -Be able to show a basic understanding of how to analyze the data from Chip-seq, single-cell RNA-seq and RNA-seq data (via analytical assignments on example data). |
| Contents of the course | The course is designed to enable the acquisition of theoretical knowledge about translational strategies in cardiovascular research, as well as about the applications of novel tools and models to investigate the development of various cardiovascular diseases, how to set up and interpret biobank data. There is also a significant practical component where students will get hands-on bench work experience in the most common models used including quantitative live-cell assays, in situ hybridization, FISH staining, vascular function evaluation, and different sequencing data analysis. |
| Teaching and learning activities | The course is a combination of theoretical and practical training, where lectures/group discussions and laboratory/practical demonstrations are integrated. Time is also allocated for discussing laboratory results and lectures.
|
| Compulsory elements | Full attendance is required to both theoretical and practical lessons in order to understand the course content and to pass the course. The students who have missed the group work sessions can book extra session time within four weeks to compensate for the absence. |
| Examination | All the learning outcomes of the course have to be reached to pass the course. The final grade (pass or fail) will be based on:
- Summative assessment of the contributions during the discussions that are part of the course. - Group presentation at the final seminar where different research topics regarding epigenetic modifications will be discussed, i.e. disease aspect to be investigated, and how the results of appropriate experiments are analyzed and interpreted. |
| Literature and other teaching material | The publications listed below can be obtained via Pubmed search (https://www-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov.proxy.kib.ki.se/pubmed) and are recommended for students to read before the course.
