Organismic biology to teach the basic principles of classical and molecular genetics, evolutionary biology and phylogeny.First in a series of two lectures given over two semesters for students of agricultural and food sciences, as well as of environmental sciences.

Basics of biochemistry (macromolecules, membranes, cellular structures, metabolism), molecular genetics (gene expression and its regulation; from gene to protein), and physiology of higher plants (structure, growth, development, nutrition, transport, reproduction)

Diversity of microbial metabolism, adaptation of cells to changing parameters, post-translational events, intervention in the metabolism, expression technologies for prokaryotic and eukaryotic hosts, gene expression in transgenic plants and animals, gene therapy, cell-culture technology, preparation of various products, production processes, cost calculations and economic aspects.

Introduction to bioprocesses: characteristics, principles, aims and examples.

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:- Plant Biology- Animal Models- Genomics- Molecular Systems Biology(total of 12 experiments)Each experiment takes one full day.

General Biology I: Organismic biology to teach the basic principles of classical and molecular genetics, evolutionary biology and phylogeny.General Biology II: Molecular biology approach to teach the basic principles of biochemistry, cell biology, cgenetics, evolutionary biology and form and function of vacular plants.

The course covers all basic aspects of metabolome measurements, from sample sampling to mass spectrometry and data analysis. Participants work in groups and independently perform and interpret metabolomic experiments.

Practical introduction into fermentations, quantitative physiology, and stoichiometric modeling

No description available.

The course teaches computational methods and first hands-on applications by starting from biological problems/phenomena that students in the 4th semester are somewhat familiar with. During the exercises, students will obtain first experience with programming their own analyses/models for data analysis/interpretation.

Introduction to experimental and computational methods of systems biology. By using baker’s yeast as a thread through the series, we focus on global methods for analysis of and interference with biological functions. Illustrative applications to other organisms will highlight medical and biotechnological aspects.

Starting from contemporary biological problems related to metabolism, the course focuses on systems biological approaches to address them. In a problem-oriented, this-is-how-it-is-done manner, we thereby teach modern methods and concepts.
