(englische Bezeichnung: Entwicklungsbiologie 4: Zellmigration und Morphogenese)
(Prüfungsordnungsmodul: Developmental Biology IV: Cell Migration and Morphogenesis)

Lehrveranstaltungen:

• • Mastermodul Entwicklungsbiologie IV: Zellmigration & Morphogenese
    (Übung, 8 SWS, Alexandra Schambony, 9:00 - 17:00, Raum n.V.)

Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:

none

Inhalt:

Seminar: The students prepare and present talks covering state-of-the art topics of molecular mechanisms in cell migration and morphogenetic movements in embryonic development. The students discuss the presented topics. (Language: English).

Laboratory courses: The students work in small teams on mini-projects addressing the molecular control of cell migration and morphogenetic movements. In these projects the students will learn and use methods in cell biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, modern imaging techniques, embryology depending on the specific projects. Model systems include mammalian and amphibian cell culture and Xenopus laevis embryos.

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

Seminar: The students present and discuss research publications on the module topic including background and methodology.

Laboratory course: The students should

• know and employ concepts and methods in cell biology and embryology to address a specific research problem.

• Develop hypotheses, plan and carry out experiments based on their hypothesis

• Document, present and critically discuss their results
  

Literatur:
