Neurological Disease Modeling

About

Explore the formation of human neuronal networks and the roots of complex mental disorders. This course combines cutting-edge 'human brain on a chip' techniques with hands-on training in in vitro models, gene-phenotype correlations, and clinical applications like epilepsy.

Course leader

Dr. Dirk Schubert and Prof. Dr. N. Nadif Kasri

Target group

Master, PHD, Postdoc

Admission requirements
Completed BA or MA in (Medical) Biology, Biomedical Sciences, Molecular Life Sciences, Psychology or equivalent. A solid background in cellular and molecular neurobiology is required. Having experiences in statistics and in coding (Matlab and Python) are of advantage for the educational outcome.

Course aim

Learning objectives
By the end of the course, participants will:

1. Be able to design and implement in vitro models for studying human neuronal networks in health and disease
2. Acquire hands-on expertise in obtaining and analyzing functional data from neuronal networks
3. Be prepared to apply human neuronal network on a chip methodologies to uncover the molecular, structural, and functional aspects of neuronal networks, with a focus on the human genetic background and longitudinal studies
4. Understand the clinical context of neurological diseases like epilepsy and how to translate experimental findings into research applications
5. Develop skills to plan and execute human stem cell-based studies on neuronal networks
6. Gain insights into the latest experimental and analytical tools used in neuroscience research
