Learning outcomes
The student acquires knowledge and skills in the laboratory related to the technologies necessary to: 1) maintain and use cell models to perform different biochemical analysis; 2) the design, development and characterization of vaccines; 3) develop production processes for recombinant proteins, primary and secondary microbial metabolites.
Course contents
The integrative laboratory activity is divided into three laboratory experiments: 1) Prof. Anna Maria Porcelli - use of cell models and analysis of the effects of trehalose on cell proliferation, activation of autophagy, tumorigenic potential; 2) Prof. Giorgio Gallinella - production and characterization of recombinant viral proteins suitable for the development of a VLP vaccine; 3) Prof. Patrizia Brigidi - use of microbiomes in industrial microbiology (metagenomics and bioinformatics approaches for next generation industrial processes).
