About this course
Students will have the opportunity to:
- work with various model systems (e.g. different cell lines, C. elegans and tissue from transgenic mice
- perform different biochemical analysis assays (e.g. Western blot, RT-PCR)
- immunohistechemical stainings and confocal imaging
In addition to hands-on practical methods, students will attend scientific lectures and seminars.
Learning outcomes
Using different model systems, students will learn about how mitochondrial dysfunction and epigenetic mechanisms are involved in the alteration of signalling pathways contributing to longevity, neurodegeneration and neuronal function.
