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.

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)

Job applications and interview techniques.

Beineke, Gerhauser, Nessler, Meyerhoff, Puff, Tipold, Volk

To be announced

Case presentation and discussion of clinical and neuropathological diagnoses as well as correlation between MRI, histopathology and neuropathology.

Beineke, Gerhauser, Gregor, Leitzen, Stoff

Mon 14.04.25, 16:00 - 16:45

The Journal Club aims at training the participants' skills in reading and understanding current publications in the field of diagnostic veterinary pathology. It also aims at improving writing skills for their own publications. An important aim is to also increase awareness of articles relevant for the examination of the European College of Veterinary Pathology (ECVP). Memorizing the content of presented papers is highly desirable.

(summer term)

Beineke, Wohlsein, Gerhauser, Leitzen, Puff, Stoff

Mon 14.04.25, 12:30 - 13:30

Daily presentation of completed necropsies with discussion of macroscopic lesions, phrasing of appropriate morphologic diagnoses, and discussions of possible etiologies and pathogeneses.

AFIP/JPC

Beineke, Wohlsein, Gerhauser, Gregor, Leitzen, Puff, Schaudien, Stoff

Tue 15.04.25, 16:00 - 16:45

The seminar aims to extend the knowledge of the participants in regard to classical disease entities but also to foreign animal diseases, rare and unusual animal diseases or emerging animal diseases. The cases provided by the AFIP will be presented by participants and subsequently discussed.

Rittinghausen

Wed 07.05.25, 14:30 - 16:30

The seminar engrosses the insight into the background pathology of aging laboratory rodents. There will be an introduction to the most common pathological findings in laboratory rodents with special emphasis to the organ system.
Following the introduction, there will be an interactive virtual microscopic slide session with a demonstration and discussion of a variety of histopathological slide scans with common pathological findings in rats and mice.
