Catalogue data
Abstract | The course will introduce the students to the key concepts in membrane biology and will allow them to be involved in laboratory projects related to that broad field. The course will consist of lectures, literature discussions, and practical laboratory work in small groups. Results of the practical projects will be presented during the poster session at the end of the course. |
Objective | The aim of the course is to expose the students to a wide range of modern research areas encompassed by the field of membrane biology. |
Content | Students will be engaged in research projects aimed at understanding the biological membranes at the molecular, organellar and cellular levels. Students will design and perform experiments, evaluate experimental results, analyze the current scientific literature and understand the relevance of their work in the context of the current state of the membrane biology field. |
Lecture notes | No script |
Literature | The recommended literature, including reviews and primary research articles, will be provided during the course |
Prerequisites / Notice | The course will be taught in English. All general lectures will be held at ETH Hoenggerberg. Students will be divided into small groups to carry out experiments at ETH or at the Paul Scherrer Institute. Travel to the Paul Scherrer Institute will be by public transportation. |
