Consolidation of practical work in the lab with theory and literature background. Integraion of the students in ongoing research projects in the field of neuromorphology (regeneration and plasticity of the nervous system, molekular mechanisms of axonal growth, neural stem cells) and molecular cognition (genetic mouse models, molekular and cellular mechanisms of learning and memory).

Students focus on a specific policy problem and carry out applied policy research for a public or private sector institution of their own choice.

Cultivation of human and animal cells, expression of various genes in animal cell lines, investigation of regulated gene expression, analysis of the cell cycle in cell lines used for production (under various culture conditions), reactor techniques and production of pharmaceutical proteins on an industrial scale, computer simulation for the analysis of biological and industrial processes.

Mammalian cells will be transfected and transduced with viral vectors for production of biopharmaceuticals, for generation of artificial microtissues, as vectors in gene/cell therapy studies, for drug discovery as well as for construction of synthetic biologic gene networks. A wide array of analytical techniques, lectures and excursions to biotech companies will complement the practical part.

Microscopical, immunological, molecular and culture assays for diagnosis of pathogens of medical or veterinary importance, interpretation of diagnostic results, molecular investigations on structural and functional features of microorganisms and their interactions with their hosts or the environment.

The practical modules cover 9 weeks and are attended in the third study year. The contents are closely related to military sciences and complement the lectures.The practical modules are conducted by MILAK at the ETH Zürich.
