Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:

none

Inhalt:

Seminar talks cover topics concerning the molecular mechanisms controlling developmental processes with an emphasis on tissue and organ development involving progenitor and stem cells in vertebrate and invertebrate model organisms.

In the laboratory course, projects in small groups are pursued related to ongoing research in the participating labs, which address gene functions, transcriptional, and signalling processes during embryonic development and organogenesis (gonad, early embryo, muscle, and heart development).

Among the techniques applied are molecular methods (PCR, gene cloning, sequencing), genetic methods (mutants, transgenic insects, RNAi, morpholino antisense nucleotides, gene over-expression), detection methods (in situ hybridization, histochemistry, transgenic markers), and microscopy (fluorescence microscopy, structured illumination, confocal microscopy) as well as other molecular and bioinformatic methods.

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

Students will acquire the following skills: They will

• be able to present and critically discuss results of current developmental research articles

• become familiar with current concepts of developmental biology, including the molecular basis of developmental regulation

• obtain an understanding of genetic techniques and methods used for analysis of developmental problems

• be able to independently develop working hypotheses, and to plan and conduct experiments to test these

• learn to discuss their results and defend their conclusions in proper context
