gsw130 - Regenerative Medicine in Ophthalmology (Vollständige Modulbeschreibung)

Enrolment in Master´s programme Molecular Biomedicine

Attending the first session is required to pass the course. Missing only one session is allowed, which equals 10% of the course.

Competencies:
++ comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of regenerative research
++ deepened knowledge of clinical aspects of eye diseases
++ deepened knowledge of biological lab methods and clinical diagnostics
(classical tissue engineering, cell culture and molecular laboratory methods)
++ systematic understanding in translational research
  + interdisciplinary thinking
  + critical and analytical thinking
++ data analysis and interpretation skills
++ data presentation and discussion (written and spoken)
++ teamwork
  + time management

The module focuses on regenerative medicine with the main emphasis on ophthalmologic research.

Lectures:
Fundamentals of different tissue enginering methods in the lab, insights of current ophthalmologic research projects including tissue engineering methods as well as an overview of some opthalmologic diseases.

Exercises:
Practical laboratory work: generation of tissue engineered artificial cornea, preparation of porcine cornea and retina, cultivation of primary corneal stem cells, sample preparation for protein and mRNA, Western Blotting, qrtPCR, Paraffin sectioning, HE-staining

Textbooks of ophthalmology, anatomy, current literature concerning tissue engineering methods. Primary and secondary literature of the field will be provided and introduced at the first meeting.
