This laboratory course focuses on research topics in the Corn lab related to CRISPR-Cas genome engineering, the role of DNA repair in metazoan genome editing, the development of preclinical proof-of-concept for genome editing therapies, and the use of genome editing to investigate fundamental questions in blood cells. Projects will be conducted in small groups.

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.

Genetics and epigenetics form the blueprints for all life. Understanding genetics is critical to understanding everything from evolution to cancer. This course covers the fundamentals of modern genetics, with an emphasis on molecular mechanisms, and the use of genetic tools to understand biological biological processes in bacteria, model organisms and humans.
