So, you finally have a science degree- or will in the future. What to do with it? Are all doors open to you or is there still a lot of work to be done?In this course you´ll learn about: About yourself: Your interests, values and skills Career options: There are many more options than you […]

Get started with CRISPR in cell culture

DNA manipulation has been a breakthrough in the scientific community enabling a better understanding of the relationship between the genome and its functions. One of the most exciting systems to perform DNA manipulations is Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/CRISPR associated protein (CRISPR/Cas). With this system genes could be e. g. added, removed, and even […]

Statistics for Scientists

This workshop provides an introduction to statistics and spans 4 morning sessions. Topics will include:Basics of statistics, populations and samples, data visualization, hypothesis testing, group comparisons (ANOVA), power analysis with GraphPad Prism etc.

Leadership skills: How to row the boat

Leadership has undergone changes- in parallel with changes to our work environments. Flatter hierarchies, project work in a matrix structure and more rapid changes of assignments, locations and colleagues are but some of the new challenges we all face. Interpersonal skills become ever more important when leading a team or a project: for motivation, conflict […]

Survival Skills in Flow Cytometry

Overview Flow Cytometry is one of the most powerful single cell analysis methods used throughout the life sciences and medicine. Utilising Flow Cytometry we can identify and quantify many different parameters from heterogeneous samples, analyse the corresponding state of proliferation or simply detect the expression of fluorescent reporters. We will cover the theory of Flow […]
