Micro-credential in Cell Culture for Biomedical Research

The creation of this Micro-credential aims to enrich the training of CBL students by providing a set of practical tools that allow them to apply and deepen their knowledge related to cell and tissue culture applied to biomedical research. These elements are essential to ensure excellent performance in laboratory practice, while simultaneously promoting the quality and efficiency of the results obtained.

Students in the 4th year of the bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Laboratory Sciences of the Coimbra Health School (ESTeSC-IPC), as well as holders of the degree in Biomedical Laboratory Sciences, who are students of the Master’s course taught by ESTeSC-IPC, can apply for this micro-credential.
