The Certificate Program in Cell Culture Techniques and Applications aims at training students in foundational mammalian cell culture skills and its applications in different fields. This program is comprised of four courses: an introductory course, Bio 313 (Cell Culture Methods), one upper level elective, and Bio 393 (Integrated Applications of Cell Culture Techniques). This program aims to bridge the gap between graduation and employment/advancement of student careers.
