Prerequisites / Notice	PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING RULES Your attendance is obligatory and you have to attend all 12 Praktikum days of GL BioI. Absences are only acceptable if you are able to provide a Doctor’s certificate. The original Dr's certificate has to be given to PD Dr. P. Kallio (HCI F413) within five days of the absence of the Praktikum day. If there will be any exceptional or important situations then you should directly contact the Director of Studies of D-Biol, who will decide if you are allowed to miss a Praktikum day or not. HIGHLY IMPORTANT!! 1. Due to the increased number of students, the official Praktikum registration has to be done, using myStudies, preferably at the end of HS17 but not later than Sunday January 31, 2018. 2. Later registration is NOT possible and can NOT be accepted! 3. The course registration for FS2018 is usually possible at the end of Autumn semester 2017 and you will obtain an E-mail from the Rectorate when the course registration using myStudies is possible. Extra Praktikum days have to be organized if more than 220 - 240 students will attend the Praktikum. The group division is random and the reserved Extra Praktikum days are: - May 31, 2018 - June 4 - 5, 2018 The Praktikum GL BioI will take place during the following days and therefore, you have to make sure already now that you will not have any other activities / commitments during these days: PRAKTIKUM DAYS FS18 (Thursdays): - 22.2.2018 - 1.3 - 8.3 - 15.3 - 22.3 - 29.3 Eastern & Spring vacation: 30.3 - 8.4.2018 - 12.4 - 19.4 - 26.4 - 3.5 - 17.5 - 24.5 EXTRA PRAKTIKUM DAYS (if necessary) - 31.5.2018 - 4.6 - 5.6
551-0224-00L	Advanced Proteomics For master students from the 2nd semester on, also doctoral candidates and post docs.	4 credits	6G	R. Aebersold, L. Gillet, M. Gstaiger, A. Leitner, P. Pedrioli
Abstract	Goal of the course is to analyze current and newly emerging technologies and approaches in protein and proteome analysis with regard to their application in biology, biotechnology and medicine. Format: Introduction by instructor followed by discussions stimulated by reading assignments and exercises.
Learning objective	To discuss current and newly emerging technologies and approaches in protein and proteome analysis with regard to their applications in biology, biotechnology, medicine and systems biology.
Content	Block course teaching current methods for the acquisition and processing of proteomic datasets.
Prerequisites / Notice	Number of people: Not exceeding 30. Students from ETHZ, Uni Zurich and University of Basel Non-ETH students must register at ETH Zurich as special students http://www.rektorat.ethz.ch/students/admission/auditors/index_EN
551-0362-00L	Analysis of Signaling Networks by Mass Spectrometry Number of participants limited to 10. The enrolment is done by the D-BIOL study administration.	6 credits	7G	M. Gstaiger, M. Claassen, B. Wollscheid
Abstract	This course provides the theoretical and practical basis for the biochemical and computational analysis of signaling networks using quantitative mass spectrometry and advanced statistical methods.
Learning objective	In this course we will introduce basic and emerging techniques to study dynamic signalling networks using state of the art quantitative mass spectrometry techniques. This will involve the systematic characterization of signaling networks by affinity purification and phospho-peptide enrichment combined with quantitative mass spectrometry. We will also introduce and apply computational tools for statistical analysis, data visualization and network inference to build new hypothesis on the basis of the obtained data.
Prerequisites / Notice	This course requires a basic knowledge in mass spectrometry based proteomics and experience in computational data processing using R or MatLab. Ideally this course should be combined with course 551-0352-00L "Protein Analysis by Mass Spectrometry".
551-0364-00L	Functional Genomics Information for UZH students: Enrolment to this course unit only possible at ETH. No enrolment to module BIO 254 at UZH. Please mind the ETH enrolment deadlines for UZH students: Link	3 credits	2V	C. von Mering, C. Beyer, B. Bodenmiller, M. Gstaiger, H. Rehrauer, R. Schlapbach, K. Shimizu, N. Zamboni, further lecturers
Abstract	Functional genomics is key to understanding the dynamic aspects of genome function and regulation. Functional genomics approaches use the wealth of data produced by large-scale DNA sequencing, gene expression profiling, proteomics and metabolomics. Today functional genomics is becoming increasingly important for the generation and interpretation of quantitative biological data.
Learning objective	Functional genomics is key to understanding the dynamic aspects of genome function and regulation. Functional genomics approaches use the wealth of data produced by large-scale DNA sequencing, gene expression profiling, proteomics and metabolomics. Today functional genomics is becoming increasingly important for the generation and interpretation of quantitative biological data. Such data provide the basis for systems biology efforts to elucidate the structure, dynamics and regulation of cellular networks.
Content	The curriculum of the Functional Genomics course emphasizes an in depth understanding of new technology platforms for modern genomics and advanced genetics, including the application of functional genomics approaches such as advanced microarrays, proteomics, metabolomics, clustering and classification. Students will learn quality controls and standards (benchmarking) that apply to the generation of quantitative data and will be able to analyze and interpret these data. The training obtained in the Functional Genomics course will be immediately applicable to experimental research and design of systems biology projects.
Prerequisites / Notice	The Functional Genomics course will be taught in English.
551-1310-00L	A Problem-Based Approach to Cellular Biochemistry Number of participants limited to 15.	6 credits	2G	M. Peter, E. Dultz, M. Gstaiger, V. Korkhov, B. Kornmann, V. Panse, A. E. Smith
Abstract	Independent, guided acquisition of an overview over a defined area of research, identification of important open questions, development of an experimental strategy to address a defined question, and formulation of this strategy within the framework of a research grant.
Learning objective	The students will learn to acquire independently an overview over a defined area of research, and to identify important open questions. In addition, they will learn to develop an experimental strategy to address a defined question, and to formulate this strategy within the framework of a research grant.
Content	The students will work in groups of two to three, in close contact with a tutor (ETH Prof or senior scientist). The overview and the small research grant will be developed independently by the students, with guidance from the tutor through regular mandatory meetings. The students will write both the overview and the grant in short reports, and present them to their colleagues.
Literature	The identification of appropriate literature is a component of the course.
Prerequisites / Notice	This course will be taught in english, and requires extensive independent work.
