University of Oxford, CPD Centre, University of Oxford Department for Continuing Education, Rewley House, Oxford 5-8 June 2001 Our ability to isolate genes, analyse or alter them and return them to a suitable host has revolutionised all areas of biology and medicine. This course is designed to give all participants a good basic grounding in the concepts and applications of genetic engineering and to allow them to interact more effectively and productively with those who use this technology in research and development. The course is tailored to meet the needs of those who have had little exposure to the ideas or practice of genetic engineering; a basic background in biology - whether or not it included molecular biology - would be an advantage for those attending. The course begins with an introduction to the tools of genetic engineering which provides a thorough grounding in the fundamental principles of handling and manipulating DNA in bacteria and complex organisms. These ideas are developed to show how the techniques of genetic engineering can be applied to produce recombinant proteins in bacteria. The course then examines the genes and patterns of gene expression in a variety of complex organisms including yeasts, plants, insects and mammals. The techniques for isolating genes from complex organisms and the subsequent engineering of these genes are discussed, with an emphasis on how engineered genes may be used to create transgenic animals and plants or to produce recombinant proteins in cell factories. Participants may attend the whole course or book for Part I only or II only. A 10% discount is given on the full course fee for those registering for both Part I and Part II. |
