Lecturers of the HGNI

To be announced

This course aims to provide hands-on learning in labs with focus on specific state-of-the-art techniques that are relevant or of individual interest for the PhD student. Experienced lecturers and scientists provide the benefits of live, in-person training. Extensive training is provided by the labs.
This course thereby also stimulates cooperations among scientists between different HGNI-institutions or cooperating labs.

The students gain experience on specific state-of-the-art techniques, which are relevant for infection research. The course includes
? background knowledge about the principles of the technique
? practical hands-on-training including trouble shooting
? user examples on scientific application of the respective technique
