Forschungspraktikum Molekulare Zellbiologie der Tumorentstehung

What it is about

In the research internship you work on questions of molecular cell biology of tumorigenesis. You learn current laboratory methods from biochemistry, molecular biology, mouse genetics, tumor immunology and cell culture and apply them in the internship in practice. In the end you will be able to perform basic experimental procedures, plan experiments and statistically evaluate and critically interpret results.

What you will be able to do

• Practical execution of cellular biological, biochemical and molecular biological methods
• Planning and execution of experimental work in cancer research
• Evaluation and statistical analysis of experimental data
• Critical interpretation of experimental results
• Presentation of research results in a lecture and in written protocol

What the module consists of

• PraktikumCarrying out experiments, applying current laboratory methods
• Seminar/VortragPresentation of one's own results in the working group seminar (assessed)
• Schriftliche AusarbeitungPreparation of a practicuum protocol following the structure of a scientific article (assessed)
• Diskussion/ErgebnisbesprechungEvaluation and critical interpretation of the experiments in the group

Teaching method

• Anleitungsgespräche und -anweisungenIntroduction to experimental procedures and safety
• DemonstrationenDemonstration of methods before implementation by oneself
• ExperimentePractical application of learned laboratory procedures
• ErgebnisbesprechungenJoint evaluation and critique of the data
• Kritische Lektüre englischsprachiger FachliteraturDeepening background knowledge and contextualization of the results
• VortragPresentation of one's own work in the seminar
