Molecular Mechanisms of Cell Growth and Division
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:05:43
Abstract
Application of the current strategies to study complex and highly regulated cellular processes such as cell division.
Objective
The students learn to evaluate and to apply the current strategies to study complex and highly regulated cellular precesses such as cell division.
Content
During this Block-Course, the students will learn to (1) describe the main regulators and the mechanics of cell division and growth, (2) perform standard lab techniques and quantitate mitosis, (3) evaluate and compare experimental strategies and model systems, (4) independently search and critically evaluate scientific literature on a specific problem and present it in a seminar, and (5) formulate scientific concepts (preparation and presentation of a poster). Students will work in small groups in individual labs on one research project (8 days of practical work). The projects are close to the actual research carried out in the participating research groups, but with a clear connection to the subject of the course.
Resources
Literature
Documentation and recommended literature (review articles and selected primary literature) will be provided during the course.
