Language of Teaching / Examination: | English |
Duration: | 1 semester |
Frequency of Offer: | Every winter semester |
Credits: | 8 |
Learning Outcome: | Based on practical work in the lab, the overall aim is to deepen the understanding how molecular processes in eukaryotic cells are regulated and connected, and how they can be manipulated experimentally. Practical Course: Connected to actual scientific research projects of the group, the students work on genetically manipulated mammalian cells. The students learn to analyze consequences of recombinant gene expressions on various cellular responses, being dependent on the research project into which they are integrated. Furthermore, students learn strategies to obtain specific cell types from multipotent and/or pluripotent stem cells. Seminar: The students present and discuss “classical” as well as actual literature on selected topics of the practical course. Competences acquired after successful completion of the course: 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. In addition, the students learn to perform standardized data documentation by using electronic protocols. |
