| 551-0336-00L | Methods in Cellular Biochemistry   Number of participants limited to 18. The enrolment is done by the D-BIOL study administration. | 6 KP | 7G | P. Picotti, J. Fernandes de Matos, U. Kutay, M. Peter, K. Weis | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | Students will learn about biochemical approaches to analyze cellular functions. The course consists of practical projects in small groups, lectures and literature discussions. The course concludes with the presentation of results at a poster session. | ||||
| Lernziel | Students will learn to design, carry out and assess experiments using current biochemical and cell biological strategies to analyze cellular functions in a wide range of model systems. In particular they will learn novel imaging techniques along with biochemical approaches to understand fundamental cellular pathways. Furthermore, they will learn to assess strengths and limitations of the different approaches and be able to discuss their validity for the analysis of cellular functions. | ||||
| Literatur | Documentation and recommended literature (review articles and selected primary literature) will be provided during the course. | ||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | This course will be taught in English. | ||||
| 551-1303-00L | Cellular Biochemistry of Health and Disease Number of participants limited to 20. | 4 KP | 2S | P. Picotti, Y. Barral, J. Fernandes de Matos, V. Korkhov, B. Kornmann, R. Kroschewski, M. Peter, A. E. Smith, K. Weis | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | During this Masters level seminar style course, students will explore current research topics in cellular biochemistry focused on the structure, function and regulation of selected cell components, and the consequences of dysregulation for pathologies. | ||||
| Lernziel | Students will work with experts toward a critical analysis of cutting-edge research in the domain of cellular biochemistry, with emphasis on normal cellular processes and the consequences of their dysregulation. At the end of the course, students will be able to introduce, present, evaluate, critically discuss and write about recent scientific articles in the research area of cellular biochemistry. | ||||
| Inhalt | Guided by an expert in the field, students will engage in classical round-table style discussions of current literature with occasional frontal presentations. Students will alternate as discussion leaders throughout the semester, with the student leader responsible to briefly summarize key general knowledge and context of the assigned primary research paper. Together with the faculty expert, all students will participate in discussion of the primary paper, including the foundation of the biological question, specific questions addressed, key methods, key results, remaining gaps and research implications. | ||||
| Literatur | The literature will be provided during the course | ||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | The course will be taught in English. | ||||
