Q-Teams: teaching reasearch-based courses

These courses are part of the Q-Teams program at the Humboldt University. They are research-based courses in which students form teams and use state-of-the-art tools to analyze single-cell RNA sequencing datasets and tackle research questions. Co-teaching with Tancredi Pentimalli.

  • WiSe 22. Through blood: single-cell analysis in health and disease.
  • WiSe 21. Organoids: a new window into disease and development.
  • SoSe 21. Immune system in breast cancer: friend or foe?
