Lecture Series: Principles in Developmental Biology

27 Mar 2018, 14:00 → 19 Jun 2018, 17:00 Europe/Berlin

Galleria 2nd floor (MPI-CBG)

Registration deadline: 1 March 2018

AIM OF THE COURSE: The lectures will revisit basic principles that govern the development of a single cell, the fertilised egg, into a multicellular organism. These events include, among others, mechanisms of cell fate determination, cell-cell signalling, pattern formation and morphogenesis. The course will combine lectures, discussions, and seminars presented by the students. The course requires a strong commitment of the participants to actively contribute by preparing the lectures beforehand (based on material provided) and by regular participation. The course is part of the IMPRS-CellDevoSys graduate training. 

SPECIAL REMARK: The course consists of five lectures/discussions (March to April) and two seminars with presentations by the PhD students (June). 

LEARNING GOAL: 

• Basic principles of development
• Critically reading of papers
• Presentation skills

The number of participants is limited to 12.

We will inform you after 1 MARCH 2018 whether a slot in the lecture series could be assigned to you!
