About the course Hello! It is a pleasure have you here! In our course we want to explore the development and application of resources used to describe drug action, resistance and diagnosis of mycobacterial pathogens. Our lab has invited people abroad, people from our own country or university to bring topics related to genetic, metabolic and immunologic approaches for scientific investigation of mycobacterial markers of infection and drug action/resistance. At the end of this course, we hope you could create your own experimental designs using the tools and previous works to your own lab experience. So, your participation is something essential for the best of this course. Enjoy it!
