Teacher training: Organoids of the human brain (aka mini-brain) and the regulation of gene expression
Experience the state of the art in science and receive valuable information about current trends in life science research.
Textbooks teach "from DNA to RNA to protein", but this dogma is now long obsolete. MDC researchers are investigating the function of non-coding RNAs in neurons, using as a model a human brain grown in a Petri dish, a so-called brain-organoid or mini-brain. Through experiments, demonstrations and lectures you will experience the state of the art in science and receive valuable information about current trends in life science research.
The training takes place in the group of Prof. Dr. Rajewsky, Systems Biology of Gene Regulatory Elements, and is part of the program for Schule MIT Wissenschaft conference.
Target group: High school teachers
