Education

The FGCZ is committed to serve as a knowledge hub and provides education in form of lectures, block courses, practical’s and seminars. Extensive teaching efforts of the FGCZ are directed to the individual training of PhD students and postdocs on the practical example of their own research projects that are carried out in collaboration with the FGCZ. These trainings start with discussions on experimental design and related statistical aspects, continue through biochemical and molecular biological work related to sample processing and preparation, analytical chemistry and biophysical subjects during data collection and generation, and finally include tutoring and mentoring of data analysis and interpretation using computational and bioinformatics approaches.

Courses organized and run by the FGCZ

Practical courses in the areas of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics are held regularly at the FGCZ. They consist of a combination of theoretical and practical work in both the wet and the dry labs. For all the details, visit our practical course pages for the respective technology and analysis.
Additionally, the FGCZ organises a block course for bachelor and master students: BIO253 -Research cycle in genomics. In the framework of high-throughput analytical technologies, we implement research-based teaching and learning for participants to experience how the research process works. Students should experience the research cycle from where they can draw hypotheses, challenge them, do some analysis, derive conclusions and recommendations as well as communicate their findings.
