Prerequisite
We strongly recommend that you know essential concepts of cell biology (cell, membrane...) and a few basics of chemistry (ions, proteins...). We will review some principles, but this course is for people who have completed a year of college/university in a scientific field. It is even better if you know some physics (the notions of current, potential, resistance), but do note that we will use only two mathematical equations in this course.
Obviously, this training also requires you to be able to use a computer and the internet and that you have enough motivation and autonomy to complete it.
