DFG-VIPER

Gabriel

To be announced

In this course, students will gain hands-on experience with essential virological techniques used in influenza virus research. All experiments will be performed under biosafety level 2 conditions.
They will learn how to cultivate and infect host cells with influenza viruses and quantify infectious virus particles through plaque assay analyses.
Additionally, students will perform influenza virus vRNP reconstitution assays to quantify the activity of the viral RNA polymerase, providing insights into viral replication mechanisms. They will also employ Western Blot analyses to detect subunits of the viral polymerase and examine their protein expression levels.

This journal club explores cutting-edge research in virology focusing on virus discovery, host range and transmission, virus-host cell interactions and pathogenesis as well as immune interference and intervention strategies. Through critical discussions, participants will refine their ability to analyze scientific literature, understand experimental methodologies, and engage in interdisciplinary dialogue. The sessions will provide an opportunity for PhD students to strengthen their presentation and moderation skills while staying up to date with the latest advancements in the field.

Animal Welfare Regulations and where they originated from. Is the animal welfare a modern invention and what were the underlying reasons to go down this road? How does animal welfare help the owner, consumer or user of animals? We will look at the benefits of animal welfare from different angles and see that this topic is iterative.

according to the former FELASA B guidelines

PhD Year 2025: Organization of the ZSN seminar in winter and summer term.

Each year of students during their course of study organizes a joint project of choice.
"Science meets school" and "IdeenEXPO" are alternating projects, but other projects are possible as well. The aim is to develop management and teamwork skills and to gain valuable experiences that become increasingly helpful while developing a career in sciences.
