Mon 29.09.25 - Wed 01.10.25, 09:00 - 17:00

Important epidemiological and biometric methods are briefly repeated and their implementation with the lisence-free version of SAS-Studio practised using examples.

The course is a joined activity for all doctoral and PhD programmes at TiHo. Therefore, the course is held in German. However, some course materials and personal comments by the lecturers in the exercises will also be in English. From 2026, individual courses will also be held entirely in English. The software can also be individually converted to English.

The lecture and practical course ?Basics in laboratory animal science? is for persons involved in the use of animals for scientific purposes to achieve competence in the sense of animal welfare and according the German Animal Welfare Law (TierSchG §7).
The local authority (LAVES) will provide a ?certificate of exemption? only after successful attention of both theoretical and practical course.
Theoretical module:
The 2-day theoretical module ?Basics in laboratory animal science? includes following topics: Legal aspects (including national legislation), basics in anatomy and physiology of different laboratory animal species, application of substances, anesthesia, operation and perioperative care, blood collection, euthanasia, basics in genetics, nomenclature and breeding management, husbandry, labelling, health monitoring and hygienic requirements.
Learning outcome will be assessed by a written exam.
Practical module:
In the 2-day practical ?Basic Training Module? basic skills will be obtained: propaedeutics, handling (mouse, rat, guinea pig), anatomy and physiology, application and blood sample collection techniques, humane killing, sample collection, anesthesia, labelling of laboratory animals, documentation (please, bring your own lab coat with you).

Tue 15.04.25 - Tue 15.07.25, 13:30 - 16:00

Interdisciplinary basic science lecture series, that cover important topics of veterinary research and animal biology and includes
- Alternative methods to animal testing
- Pathogen-host interaction
- Infection immunology
- Current methods in cellular and molecular biology
- Studies in animal behaviour
- Animal testing and animal genetics
- Priciples of drug action

Students in the first year are assigned to topics selected by the faculty for further study. At the beginning of the 90 min lecture, the professor gives a 45 min introductory lecture followed by a 30 min presentation of one sudent. The seminar will end up with a 15 min discussion open to the auditorium.

Individual lab course

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

(summer term only)
