| Dr. Christina Würtz, PD Dr. Matthias Wirth, Fattah Amatul |
| Course typ: |
| Wahl (Pflicht) Seminar |
| Description: |
| Students will gain comprehensive insights into the intricacies of the transcription cycle, the pivotal roles of transcription factors, oncogenes, and tumor suppressors in driving the multifaceted processes underlying cancer initiation and progression. Students will delve into the realm of epigenetic regulation, exploring its profound influence on gene expression dynamics, and critically evaluate its implications for devising cutting-edge (immuno)-therapeutic interventions aimed at combating cancer. An overview of state-of-the-art gene editing techniques, including the revolutionary CRISPR technology, will equip students with the necessary proficiency to manipulate genomic sequences with unprecedented precision. Additionally, students will be introduced to user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) tools for analyzing transcriptomic data (e.g., RNAseq), enabling them to extract meaningful insights without the need for extensive bioinformatics expertise. Engaging with a recent, impactful publication from the domains of cancer biology, gene editing, or related disciplines, students will meticulously dissect the methodologies and findings therein. This exercise will not only broaden their knowledge base but also hone their critical thinking and analytical skills. Guidance and coaching will be provided to students on effectively communicating their findings and insights to audiences using dynamic multimedia presentations, leveraging tools such as PowerPoint. Subsequent discussions will foster a deeper understanding of the nuances inherent in scientific discourse and facilitate the exchange of ideas amongst peers. |
