Animal Cell Culture Techniques

Cell culture techniques allow a variety of molecular and cellular biological questions to be addressed, offering physiological conditions whilst avoiding the use of laboratory animals. In addition to basic techniques, a range of specialised practical protocols covering the following areas are included: cell proliferation and death; in-vitro models models for cell differentiation; in-vitro models for toxicology and pharmacology; industrial application of animal cell culture; and genetic manipulation and analysis of human and animal cells in culture.
