Kompetenzziele

Upon successful completion of this course, students have skills in methods of developmental biology:

  • are capable of performing live embryo husbandry
  • are able to carry out in-ovo stainings
  • are familiar with the use of embryonic stage discrimination standards for model organisms
  • document the observed embryonic stages by drawings with anatomical labelling
  • are familiar with tissue preparation (including cryosectioning), the use of different molecular markers, and immunohistological staining methods
  • microscopy, data analysis, and photographic data documentation
  • know the standards of proper documentation of research data and the universal format of a lab notebook
  • know how to carry out formal laboratory reports (and the structure of a scientific paper)
  • have basic knowledge in the field of auditory system development
  • have basic knowledge of the organisation of the auditory system across vertebrate groups
