Students in [Biology and Chemistry](https://www.fitchburgstate.edu/academics/academic-schools/school-health-and-natural-sciences/biology-and-chemistry-department) Professor [Dr. Michael Nosek's](https://www.fitchburgstate.edu/academics/faculty-profiles/michael-nosek) Cell Culture  Techniques are back at it after spring break in the Antonucci Science Complex. Cells they froze before the break needed to be thawed out before performing today's experiment. This course consists of a survey of the techniques and experimental approaches used in cell culture experimentation. Topics covered will include sterile technique, media preparation, types and sources of cells, cell propagation and quantification, and viability assays. Students will develop their own research project based on their interests. They will use the scientific method to formulate hypotheses and carry out appropriate experiments to address the hypotheses.
