Special Study Program Bioanalytics and Biochemistry
The special study program "Bioanalytics and Biochemistry" is dedicated to the analysis of biological function from the single biomolecule to organismal physiology. It will provide training in analytical molecular methods and concepts to dissect biological function ranging from mass spectrometry for metabolite and proteome analysis, high resolution microscopy, the use of in vivo biosensors, fast optical spectroscopy to genome editing. Training in state-of-the-art approaches will include their (bio)physical and chemical foundations, proficiency in appraising their strengths and limitations and their mindful application to address the most timely problems of the molecular biosciences. Course modules will provide a diverse overview of modern bioanalytics and showcase their applications in understanding the fundamental molecular functions of microbes, animals and plants and in the state of the art bioengineering approaches.
