A Sneak Peek at Microbes

Microscopic organisms like bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, and algae are found almost everywhere. Some microorganisms, such as Lactobacillus, are helpful in digestion and food production, while others can cause diseases. In this laboratory session, we will learn about the Gram staining technique used to classify bacteria as Gram-positive or Gram-negative. We will also observe motile algae under the microscope as they move actively through water.

Group 1: Exploring the World Inside the Cell

Like a mechanical watch with multiple components working together, the cell's interior is packed with a plethora of structural and functional components made up of building blocks of nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. In this laboratory class, fluorescent staining of cells will be performed with visualisation of specific cellular structures using fluorescence microscopy.

About Lockdown!

The COVID-19 pandemic has offered an invaluable opportunity to observe the correlation between the prevalence of public health education and compliance with public health measures during critical times. Lockdown is a card game developed during the COVID-19 pandemic to educate the public (including children) about how specific public health measures address the pandemic and how global cooperation is essential in addressing even one country's problems.
