Single Cell Sequencing

Single cell genomics is revolutionizing biology and medicine, combining the advantages of bulk sequencing techniques and microscopic analysis of single cells. Rapid technological advances now allow the profiling of genomes, transcriptomes and epigenomes at an unprecedented level of resolution. To harness the full potential of these developments an understanding of the analysis of single cell […]

Metabolomics Mass Spectrometry

A targeted workflow to quantify Oxylipins or Amino Acids via LC-MS/MS This course consists of a theoretical and practical session. During the theoretical part you will learn how a mass spectrometer works, in particular we will explain the principle of a targeted instrument. Further, the biology of oxylipins OR amino acids (including secondary amines) and […]

PhD, and next? Career options, skills and orientation for scientists

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 […]

Scientific Writing Workshop

THE Scientific Writing Workshop teaches the skills to produce research papers of the highest quality for the world's top journals.Participants will learn the writing techniques to plan and construct arguments and the editing skills to refine and polish their work. A key focus is the structure of good scientific communication. We look at this at […]

Social media for scientists - an added value or a waste of time? (Interactive talk)

By now, LinkedIn, Twitter or Instagram are no longer new. For many scientists, social media platforms have become an integral tool for global networking, sharing research ideas, and job search. But, what is a good way for scientists to make the best use of these platforms? In this interactive talk, we’ll look at the pros […]

Scientific Image Processing and Analysis

The course consists of different basic hands-on modules which deal with scientifically correct image editing, basic image processing methods as well as standard image analyses (counting, size and shape measurements, selection creation and intensity measurements). The course content has a focus on micrographs and fluorescent microscopical images. It is constantly reviewed and updated to keep […]
