Lernziel-to understand the technical and physical principles of light microscopes and flow cytometers
-to have hands-on experience in the use of these technologies to analyze/image real samples
-to be able to run a basic analysis of the data and images obtained with flow cytometers and microscopes
-to get introduced to liquid handling (pipetting) robotics and learn how to implement a basic workflow
InhaltThe practical course will have five units at 2 days each (total 10 days):
1. Flow Cytometry:
a. Introduction to Flow Cytometry
b. Practical demonstration on flow cytometry analyzers and flow cytometry cell sorters
c. Flow cytometry sample preparation
d. Learn how to use flow cytometry equipment to analyze and sort fluorescence-labeled cells
2. Light microscopy
a. Learn how to build a microscope and understand the underlying physical principles
b. Learn how to use a modern automated wide field fluorescence microscope
c. Use this microscope to automatically acquire images of a cell culture assay to analyze the dose-dependent effect of a drug treatment
3. Image Analysis
a. Introduction to the fundamentals of image analysis
b. Learn the basics of the image analysis software Fiji/ImageJ
c. Use Fiji/ImageJ to analyze the images acquired during the microscopy exercise
4. Laboratory Automation

KurzbeschreibungThe Lab Course will take place Monday/Tuesday 9-17h, 10 days in total, start of this lab course is on Monday, September 25 2017.
LernzielStudents shall obtain a basic understanding in NGS and its application in transcription profiling including theoretical considerations when starting an RNA-seq experiment and the practical hands-on work of library preparation and usage of bioinformatics tools for data analysis.
InhaltIntroduction to NGS technologies and applications. Design of an RNA-seq transcription profiling experiment. Specific treatment of cells (+/- signal-induction) and RNA extraction. Handling and quality control of RNA samples. Sequencing library preparation starting with total RNA. Quality control and quantification of the libraries. Setup of an NGS run and sequencing of the prepared RNA-seq libraries using the NextSeq 500 system. Analysis of the generated sequence data: sequence data QC, criteria for run performance and quality of data; pre-processing of the raw data; mapping sequence reads to a reference sequence; quantification of transcript abundance and differential gene expression.

KurzbeschreibungThis practical course is an introduction to microsystems technology and microfluidics for the life sciences. It includes basic concepts of microsystem design, fabrication, and assembly into an experimental setup. Biological applications include a variety of measurements of cellular and tissue signals and subsequent analysis.
LernzielThe students are introduced to the basic principles of microsystems technology. They get acquainted with practical scientific work and learn the entire workflow of (a) understanding the theoretical concept, (b) planning the experiment, (c) engineering of the needed device, (d) execution of the experiment and data acquisition, (e) data evaluation and analysis, and (f) reporting and discussion of the results.
InhaltThe practical course will consist of a set of 4-8 experiments.
SkriptNotes and guidelines will be provided at the beginning of the course.
