Introduction to Basic Research Course
The Department of Medicine is pleased to once again offer its annual summer course "Introduction to Basic Research" in August 2011.
The course is designed for fellows, residents, post-docs, technicians, students and clinicians who would like to include basic research in their studies, as well as clinicians who would like to explore the applications of basic science methodologies in clinical research. The goal of this course is to provide an overview of the various research techniques and expertise available on campus and also the core scientific resources that are available to our scientists at UMB. Lectures will deal with the background behind various molecular techniques, statistical applications and data analysis, balancing effort versus impact when beginning new research projects, research portfolio building, use of experimental animals, concepts of experimental design and experimental models.
The course will be held for two weeks, from August 8 – August 19, 2010. Classes will be between 9 am and noon each day in HSF-1, Room 216.
