Techniques

We use a wide variety of molecular techniques in our lab to study cell death.  Many are common among most labs studying events on the cellular level, while other techniques are unique to the system that we study.  Outlined below are the techniques commonly used.

 

Primary neuronal culture	Intranuclear microinjections
Tissue culture	Transfections
Western & northern blotting	Immunofluorescence
Cloning	RT-PCR
Kinase assays	Yeast-2 hybrid analysis
EMSA	In situ hybridization
TUNEL	Confocal microscopy
cDNA & genomic cloning
