Isotope Biotechnology VL WS 21/22

Isotopes are widely applied in life sciences and have gained key importance in many methodological approaches. The module gives an overview on the analytics of radioactive and stable isotopes and their applications in different research fields, e.g. biogeochemistry, tracing chemical fate in the environment (in situ and OECD tests for REACH registration), microbial metabolism and degradation using ‘omics’ techniques (fluxomics, metabolomics, proteomics, genomics, transcriptomics), clinical drug development, medical treatment, and forensics (reconstructing the past, crime investigation, food fraud detection).

The module consists of a lecture series and exercises in small groups. Each student or group (depending on the number of students) will prepare a 15 min presentation for a given topic about the application of isotopes in biotechnology (list of the topics will be provided at the beginning of the course).

The course is given in English and is offered in the Wahlbereich Liste A.

Begin: 18.10.21 (every Monday), 16:00-17:30. This year it will be held online.
