Courses

Immunology

BIO-310

This course describes the human immune system, and the immunological bases of vaccination, transplantation, immunotherapy and allergy. It also describes the role of stem cells in the formation of tissues, in particular the hematopoietic lineage.

Life Sciences engineering: genome to function

BIO-411

Students will acquire fundamental knowledge regarding how genomes can be engineered, how their function can be deciphered, and how their dynamic outputs can be analyzed and modeled, exemplified with a focus on cell cycle progression and proliferation control.

Practical - Suter Lab

BIO-679

Bioluminescence imaging and data analysis Splinkerette PCR (to analyze genomic insertion site of a transgene). The students will obtain theoretical and practical insight into embryonic stem cell biology and the study of gene expression fluctuations in single cells.
