Seminar room

Blending in-depth lectures with guided laboratory sessions, the workshop offered a dynamic introduction to core molecular biology techniques. Participants engaged directly with methods such as RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis, PCR, restriction enzyme digestion, electrophoresis, plasmid DNA isolation, sequence analysis, and experimental design for cloning projects.

By combining expert instruction with hands-on practice, the programme not only reinforced fundamental concepts but also fostered confidence in applying these tools to real-world research challenges.

The Cell Centre is looking to expand efforts in the GMP production of cell products with a specific focus on immune-monitoring. 

The successful applicant is expected to be pivotal co-worker in the development and improvement of immune cell-based therapies for malignant diseases and the preparation of GMP compliant production of cellular products including gene-modified immune cells and monitoring of anti-cancer directed vaccination.

Nicole explores how moving away from the “domino-chain” view of the brain toward seeing it as a complex dynamical system – full of feedback loops and interactions – is opening doors to exciting new discoveries. They talk about the challenges of measuring brain disorders, why fundamental research is so essential, and how predicting salmon populations can help predict seizures in the brain.
