This course provides an overview of modern concepts of bioengineering across different levels of complexity, from single molecules to systems, microscaled reactors to production environments, and across different fields of applications

This course provides an overview of modern concepts of bioengineering across different levels of complexity, from single molecules to systems, microscaled reactors to production environments, and across different fields of applications

The course gives an introduction into cellular and molecular biology, specifically for students with a background in engineering. The focus will be on the basic organization of eukaryotic cells, molecular mechanisms and cellular functions. Textbook knowledge will be combined with results from recent research and technological innovations in biology.

This seminar will feature invited lectures about recent advances and developments in systems biology, including topics from biology, bioengineering, and computational biology.

The Lab Course will take place Monday/Tuesday 9-17h, 10 days in total, start of this lab course is on Monday, March 6, 2023.

Single-cell sequencing and imaging technologies are being applied to primary human organs and to engineered cells and tissues to understand cell states that emerge in these systems at unparalleled resolution. These technologies require sophisticated experimental and computational methods, which we will discuss in practical detail in this course.

This course is an introduction to the wide field of Genomics. It addresses how fundamental questions in biological systems are studied using methods in genomics and how the resulting data is analysed to make quantitative interpretations of biological phenomena.
