This part of the course introduces the molecular principles of the central dogma, from DNA structure and replication to RNA transcription and protein translation. Students will explore molecular techniques to study DNA, RNA, and proteins, and apply this knowledge to case studies in food, agricultural, and environmental sciences, with a focus on gene regulation and biotechnological applications.

The course during 8 afternoons (13h to 18h) covers basic laboratory skills and safety, cell culture, protein analysis, RNA/DNA Isolation and RT-PCR. Each topic will be introduced, followed by practical work at the bench. Presence during the course is mandatory.

The 2 week-long, full-time block course covers basic laboratory skills and safety, cell culture, protein analysis, RNA/DNA Isolation and RT-PCR. Each topic will be introduced, followed by practical work at the bench.

This Course introduces principle concepts, techniques, and experimental strategies used in modern Cell Biology. Major topics include: neuron-glia interactions in health and disease; mitochondrial dynamics; stem cell biology; growth factor action in development, tissue repair and disease; cancer biology; cell metabolism.

This course aims at the understanding of general cellular processes, ranging from molecular genetics to intercellular communication to the control of cellular metabolism in cells and animal models. Students will become familiar with state-of-the-art technologies in molecular and cellular biology. The practical work will be extended by presentation and discussion of relevant scientific literature.

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 introductory Laboratory course introduces the student to the entire range of classical and modern molecular biosciences. In the second year (Praktikum GL Bio II) the students will perform three praktikum days in:- Bioinformatics- Plant Physiology- Genetics and- Cell Biology II.(total of 12 experiments)Each experiment takes one full day.

Organisms have to control their growth in accordance with environmental conditions. Interestingly, the pathways regulating growth often also affect aging. This course focuses on the analysis of growth regulation in yeast, Drosophila, and mammalian cells and on its connection to aging. The participants will perform experiments to study insulin/TOR signaling as a key regulator of growth and aging.

The course describes the physiological systems of model organisms, with a particular focus on insects (in particular Drosophila), nematodes (in particular C. elegans), and the comparison to mammals.

Insights into pathophysiological aspects of selected metabolic disorders in man. One focus will be on diabetes and/or obesity.
