Video tutorials: How to write a scientific publication
Please find short tutorials with some thoughts on how to write a publication and how to structure the content on YouTube.
Lab rotations, BSc and MSc theses
Join the lab and perform your own research! The projects of rotations and theses are usually part of an ongoing PhD project and Master theses often lead to co-authorships (see below). Your bench work will usually be supervised by a PhD student and in addition, we will discuss your results regularly.
I am interested - what should I do?
If you are interested please contact me via e-mail and tell me about what topic of the lab you would like to join, the techniques you are most interested in and the approximate starting time of your rotation/thesis.Supervision:
My aim is to support you in performing your research in an independent way both technically and intellectually. You should want to work and analyze your results independently, like to search and read the relevant literature, integrate into a collaborative environment, enjoy scientific discussions and be interested in developmental, neural or evolutionary topics or in developing novel transgenic tools in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum.
Techniques:
Knock down of gene function by RNAi, CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, analysis of mutants, confocal imaging, in situ hybridization, immunhistochemistry of preparations of the brain, embryology, cloning of constructs and generation of transgenic animals, optimizing the RNAi technique
Authorships of former Master and Diploma students:

ERASMUS / DAAD
If you wish to stay for some time in the lab with an ERASMUS or other exchange programs please enquire (see above). Let us discuss what small project I can offer, which would fit your interest.
