| Abstract | Advanced lecture class providing a broad overview on bacterial cell structure, genetics, metabolism, symbiosis and pathogenesis. | ||||
| Objective | This concept class will be based on common concepts and introduce to the enormous diversity among bacteria and archaea. It will cover the current research on bacterial cell structure, genetics, metabolism, symbiosis and pathogenesis. | ||||
| Content | Advanced class covering the state of the research in bacterial cell structure, genetics, metabolism, symbiosis and pathogenesis. | ||||
| Lecture notes | Updated handouts will be provided during the class. | ||||
| Literature | Current literature references will be provided during the lectures. | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | English The lecture "Grundlagen der Biologie II: Mikrobiologie" is the basis for this advanced lecture. | ||||

| Abstract | Research laboratory class in small groups. Research projects on current topics in cellular microbiology and bacterial pathogenesis are assigned to each student. | ||||
| Objective | Introduction to a current topic in cellular microbiology and/or molecular genetics of a bacterial pathogen. Experimental work in the research lab and introduction to the current lab techniques. Work with the current research literature in bacterial pathogenesis. Writing of a research protocol. Requirement for obtaining the credit points: oral presentation of the research project and evaluation of the research protocol. | ||||
| Content | Research projects on the model pathogen Salmonella. | ||||

| 551-0509-00L | Current Immunological Research in Zürich | 0 credits | 1K | R. Spörri, M. Detmar, C. Halin Winter, W.‑D. Hardt, M. Kopf, S. R. Leibundgut, A. Oxenius, University lecturers | |
| Abstract | This monthly meeting is a platform for Zurich-based immunology research groups to present and discuss their ongoing research projects. At each meeting three PhD students or Postdocs from the participating research groups present an ongoing research project in a 30 min seminar followed by a plenary discussion. | ||||
| Objective | The aim of this monthly meeting is to provide further education for master and doctoral students as well as Postdocs in diverse topics of immunology and to give an insight in the related research. Furthermore, this platform fosters the establishment of science- and technology-based interactions between the participating research groups. | ||||
| Content | Presentation and discussion of current research projects carried out by various immunology-oriented research groups in Zurich. | ||||
| Lecture notes | none | ||||
| 551-0963-00L | Specialized Biology Course with an Educational Focus: Teaching Diploma | 12 credits | 26A | E. Hafen, W.‑D. Hardt, M. Zwicky, further lecturers | |
| Abstract | Specialist aspects of biology are covered from the angle of imparting these to pupils, their historical development, and their significance for the subject, the individual and society. | ||||
| Objective | After successfully completing the module, students should be in a position: - to call up more in-depth specialist knowledge of biology, covering a wide range of topics, and to impart this to others. - to explain biological concepts and principles, as well as the way they fit together. - to analyse controversial topics and to give factual explanations for these. - to conduct more in-depth work on a research topic and to compile a tuition unit based on this topic - to prepare tuition units involving complex learning matter at a high specialist level which are suitably tailored to the recipients, and to teach these in a manner conducive to learning. | ||||
| Content | Demanding biological topics are dealt with under consideration of the special needs of persons involved in teaching. The module comprises the parts: 1) Lecture (Tues. 08.00-09.45 hrs) 2) Colloquium (every second Tues. 10.15-12.00 hrs., begins on first lecture day) 3) Seminar with presentation (every second Tues. 10.15-12.00 hrs., begins in second lecture week) 4) Semester thesis in a research group (7 weeks) | ||||
| Lecture notes | Unterlagen für den Unterricht werden online mit Hilfe der e-learning Platform OLAT abgegeben. | ||||
| Literature | Literatur und Literaturhinweise werden mit der e-learning Platform OLAT abgegeben. | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | This Course lasts for two semesters. It can be started in autumn or in spring. Booking is only required once. Performance Assessment: Performance is assessed during the course of the entire modul, with a final test. Active participation in the colloquia and group seminars is required. The thesis report and an oral presentation have to be completed. The Specialized Biology Course with an Educational Focus (12 CP) can be acknowledged, in agreement with the advisor of the respective elective major, as one of the two obligatory research projects (each 15 CP). In such a case, additional 3 CP must be obtained in another course. In case of overbooking of the course, students enrolled in the Teaching Diploma in Biology will have priority for registration. The course is organized jointly with the University of Zurich (Fachbereich Biologie) and is held at the Life Science Zurich Learning Center of the ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich. | ||||
