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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

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 […]
