Learning Outcome: | After completing the module, the students will be able to present the current literature on a research area in a summarized form. By presenting and discussing their results from the laboratory course they are able to critically question research results. In the practical course, students have to work on sophisticated projects which need competences such as teamwork, organized project planning (project management) and analytical abilities The students are involved in the latest developments in the field of laboratory medicine. Students learn how to use modern technical laboratory diagnostic equipment. Students learn how to plan a strategy for developing a new diagnostic assay or diagnostic instrument. Students will work on and validate aspects of assay or instrument development in practice. |
Contents: | On the basis of the available literature and publications of the research group, the students design protocols for assay or instrument development, which are discussed in the seminar. The students work mainly in the fields of nucleic acid detection, autoimmunity, infection serology and tumor diagnostics. Mainly cell or microbead-based assays are developed. The students carry out their practical work under the supervision of the members of the research group and are integrated into the current research work of the working group. |
