| 551-0351-00L | Membrane Biology   Number of participants limited to 21. The enrolment is done by the D-BIOL study administration. | 6 KP | 7G | V. Korkhov, Y. Barral, B. Kornmann, U. Kutay, A. Rodriguez-Villalon, G. Schertler | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | The course will introduce the students to the key concepts in membrane biology and will allow them to be involved in laboratory projects related to that broad field. The course will consist of lectures, literature discussions, and practical laboratory work in small groups. Results of the practical projects will be presented during the poster session at the end of the course. | ||||
| Lernziel | The aim of the course is to expose the students to a wide range of modern research areas encompassed by the field of membrane biology. | ||||
| Inhalt | Students will be engaged in research projects aimed at understanding the biological membranes at the molecular, organellar and cellular levels. Students will design and perform experiments, evaluate experimental results, analyze the current scientific literature and understand the relevance of their work in the context of the current state of the membrane biology field. | ||||
| Skript | No script | ||||
| Literatur | The recommended literature, including reviews and primary research articles, will be provided during the course | ||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | The course will be taught in English. All general lectures will be held at ETH Hoenggerberg; special lectures will be organized by individual participating groups. Students will be divided into small groups to carry out experiments at ETH or at the Paul Scherrer Institute. Travel to the Paul Scherrer Insitute will be organized by car rental or public transportation. | ||||
| 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. | ||||
