Lab Courses

HMB310H1 Laboratory in Neuroscience

A laboratory course based on current research techniques for students in the Neuroscience Specialist and Major programs. Lab topics may include human brain imaging and disorders; animal behaviour, electrophysiology and cell culture; and microarray analysis of neural development.

HMB311H1 Laboratory in Fundamental Genetics and its Applications

A laboratory course based on current research techniques for students in the Genes Genetics & Biotechnology Specialist and Major programs. Lab topics may include basic microbiology, molecular biology and animal cell culture techniques, nutrigenomics; and microarray analysis of altered gene expression.

HMB312H1 Laboratory in Health and Disease

A laboratory course based on current research techniques for students in the Health & Disease Specialist and Major programs. Lab topics may include basic microbiology, molecular biology and animal cell culture techniques, immunocytochemistry, microarrays, and histological techniques.

HMB314H1 Laboratory in Human Biology

Students analyze whole body, cellular, and molecular responses to stress. Techniques range from those standard in medical practice (e.g., blood pressure) to those used in cutting-edge research laboratories (e.g., microarrays). Students gain technical and analytical skills as they use these laboratory techniques to design and carry out individual and group experiments.

HMB489H1 Advanced Laboratory in Human Biology

Building on their experience in 3rd-year labs, students participate in inquiry-based laboratory experiments in diverse areas of current human biology research. Open to students in any Human Biology program.
