551-0339-00LMolecular Mechanisms of Cell Division Information Belegung eingeschränkt - Details anzeigen 6 KP7GP. Meraldi, Y. Barral, M. de Medina Redondo, U. Kutay, M. Peter
KurzbeschreibungApplication of the current strategies to study complex and highly regulated cellular processes such as cell division.
LernzielThe students learn to evaluate and to apply the current strategies to study complex and highly regulated cellular precesses such as cell division.
InhaltDuring 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 full days of practical work; every group of students will stay in the same lab during the entire course). 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.
LiteraturDocumentation and recommended literature (review articles and selected primary literature) will be provided during the course.
Voraussetzungen / BesonderesThis course will be taught in english.
551-1310-00LA Problem-Based Approach to Cellular Biochemistry4 KP2GM. Peter, A. Helenius, B. Kornmann, P. Meraldi, V. Panse, P. Picotti, A. E. Smith
KurzbeschreibungIndependent, guided acquisition of an overview over a defined area of research, identification of important open questions, development of an experimental strategy to address a defined question, and formulation of this strategy within the framework of a research grant.
LernzielThe students will learn to acquire independently an overview over a defined area of research, and to identify important open questions. In addition, they will learn to develop an experimental strategy to address a defined question, and to formulate this strategy within the framework of a research grant.
InhaltThe students will work in groups of two to three, in close contact with a tutor (a group leader from the Institute of Biochemistry). The overview and the small research grant will be developed independently by the students, with guidance from the tutor (regular meetings are mandatory). The students will write up both the overview and the grant in short reports, and present them to their colleagues.
LiteraturThe identification of appropriate literature is a component of the course.
Voraussetzungen / BesonderesThis course will be taught in english, and requires extensive independent work.

KurzbeschreibungThe school will discuss recent progress and current challenges in biological and medical imaging. Topics include computer aided image analysis and modeling. The students will have theoretical training in the form of lectures and practical sessions (either hands-on lab work or lab demonstrations).
LernzielThe students know about the possibilities and limitations of a wide range of modern imaging methods and can propose suitable methods for a given imaging problem.
InhaltThe CIMST (Center for Imaging Science and Technology, a Competence Center of ETH Zurich) summer school discusses recent progress and current challenges in biological and medical imaging. The students will have theoretical training in the form of lectures and practical sessions (either hands-on lab work or lab demonstrations). A specialization on medical or biological imaging will be offered. Some lectures will be given in parallel for life scientists and physical scientists.
Cutting edge techniques using a wide range of imaging mechanisms such as magnetic resonance, positron emission, infrared and optical microscopy, electron microscopy and x-ray imaging will be put in the context of selected biomedical problems. In particular, multimodal and multiscale imaging methods as well as supporting technologies such as computer aided imaging analysis and modeling will be discussed. The school aims to point out possibilities of the integration of different imaging methods.
SkriptNone
Voraussetzungen / BesonderesWe plan to admit about 50 Master or PhD students with background in either biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, computer or medical science or engineering (Zürich area and from abroad). The school will be taught in English.
Admission will be given via a selection process based on the curriculum vitae, a statement of purpose. For details of the program and the application procedure please consult http://www.cimst.ethz.ch/education/summer_school/12. The application deadline is May 28, 2012. A decision on whether your application is accepted or not will be given in June 2012. Only after a positive decision is received, you may sign in via my-studies in the course.
