Learning Outcomes
Competences
Practical laboratory course on electrophysiological techniques to study cellular signals in the context of pharmacological perturbations. Goal is the transmission of theoretical and practical knowledge in pharmacology research, applying specialized techniques incl. calcium flux analysis (Anglerfish instrument, live-detection via flow cytometry), and electrophysiology (patch-clamp).
The pharmacological targets may vary each year, owing to current research and interest in the field. Focus will be on cellular signals and perturbation of immune cells.
Skills
Knowledge
Students will gain hands-on experience in electrophysiology (patch-clamp), calcium imaging, and signal transduction analysis by flow cytometry.
