Genetic engineering aims to provide students with
theoretical and practical knowledge of key experimental techniques involved in
modern genetic engineering studies. The course is focused on the principles and
the application of genetic engineering techniques and methods used in basic research,
medicine, agriculture, environment, forensics and industries. The covered
topics include gene cloning and expression, molecular diagnosis, DNA
fingerprinting, gene therapy and transgenesis. Students will have opportunity
to learn and achieve professional levels of understanding of genetic
engineering technology and its applications in various fields through lectures,
contemporary reviews and primary literature in the classroom, as well as by independent
study and peer learning
