Voraussetzungen

Inhalte

The event is held by employees of the multi-parameter diagnostics department in collaboration with scientific cooperation partners. Lecturers present their current research topics. Students thus gain an insight into research aspects from science and business. Students recognize the value of translational research, through which basic research and knowledge from the university is transferred to business and implemented there. Content is adapted to the current research areas. Topic areas include: · Autoimmune diseases · Biochips · CRISPR/Cas9 · Epitope mapping and aptamers · Fluorescence-labeled immunoassays · Forensics · Microbiology · PCR methods · Sequencing methods

Lernziele

Graduates are able to • understand basic techniques, primarily used in medical diagnostics. • apply diagnostic procedures under supervision. • choose a suitable technique for a clinical/diagnostic question. • interpret diagnostic test results. • assess and critically evaluate the significance of diagnostic tests. • understand new methods from the current literature The aim of medical treatment is always to alleviate or cure an illness. In order to be able to use the right therapies, a comprehensive diagnosis must be made. A medical diagnosis is based on the examination of various parameters that are validated using suitable measurement methods. There are different measurement methods for each parameter to be measured. A laboratory employee must find the most medically and economically optimal measurement method from a large number of available measurement methods. In addition to long-established measurement methods, innovative methods are entering the laboratory diagnostics market at an ever faster pace. Students gain insights into modern laboratory measurement methods. Students recognize new trends in medical bio-analytics. Students can follow in detail the development and implementation of new bio-analytical ideas, so they acquire system- and future-thinking competencies and are able to adapt methods to their scientific question.
