Beschreibung:The students obtain an interdisciplinary perspective of molecular cell biology covering biological, physical and chemical principles. They get a comprehensive, practical introduction into state-of-the-art techniques to interrogate and manipulate moleculal cell biology at nanoscale. SEMINAR: Students learn the critical discussion and evaluation of research results. EXERCISES: Students gain insights into hypothesis-driven experimental research and deepen their methodological competence."Nanobiophysics: Interrogating and manipulating structure and function of biomolecules in cells": Physical and biological chemistry of the cell; fundamental spectroscopy, surface-sensitive and -enhanced spectroscopic techniques; Surface chemistry and micro-/nanopatterning techniques; Electron and fluorescence microscopy techniques; optical manipulation techniques; scanning probe microscopy and force spectroscopy. SEMINAR: Critical discussion of research results in the field of molecular and cellular biophysics. EXERCISES: Methods of molecular and cellular biophysics; advanced spectroscopic and microscopic techniques.
