| 551-1709-00L | Genomic and Genetic Methods in Cell and Developmental Biology  Number of participants limited to 8. The enrolment is done by the D-BIOL study administration. | 6 credits | 7P | A. Wutz, M. Kopf, T. Schroeder | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | This course aims to provide students with a comprehensive overview of mammalian developmental biology and stem cell systems both on the theoretical as well as the experimental level. Centering the course on genetic and genomic methods engages the students in contemporary research and prepares for future studies in the course of semester and master projects. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | - Understanding mammalian development - Introduction to stem cells systems - Working with cultured cells - Translational aspects of mammalian cell biology | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | The course will consist of a series of lectures, assay assignments, project development and discussion workshops, and 2 and a half week of lab work with different mammalian cell systems embedded in real life research projects. At the end of the course students will take an exam consisting of questions on the topic of the lectures and workshops. It is expected that students will be able to apply the knowledge to concrete problems. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 636-0109-00L | Stem Cells: Biology and Therapeutic Manipulation | 4 credits | 3G | T. Schroeder | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | Stem cells are central in tissue regeneration and repair, and hold great potential for therapy. We will discuss the role of stem cells in health and disease, and possibilities to manipulate their behavior for therapeutic application. Basic molecular and cell biology, engineering and novel technologies relevant for stem cell research and therapy will be discussed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | Understanding of current knowledge, and lack thereof, in stem cell biology, regenerative medicine and required technologies. Theoretical preparation for practical laboratory experimentation with stem cells. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | We will use different diseases to discuss how to potentially model, diagnose or heal them by stem cell based therapies. This will be used as a guiding framework to discuss relevant concepts and technologies in cell and molecular biology, engineering, imaging, bioinformatics, tissue engineering, that are required to manipulate stem cells for therapeutic application. Topics will include: - Embryonic and adult stem cells and their niches - Induced stem cells by directed reprogramming - Relevant basic cell biology and developmental biology - Relevant molecular biology - Cell culture systems - Cell fates and their molecular control by transcription factors and signalling pathways - Cell reprogramming - Disease modelling - Tissue engineering - Bioimaging, Bioinformatics - Single cell technologies | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
