Professional competences:

Students learn about embryonic models presently used to study human diseases. They get acquainted with evolutionarily conserved morphogenetic signaling pathways and embryonic development and patterning.

Key competences:

The aim of the module is that students are able to
- safe to deal with the latest working techniques in the investigation of development processes and their disruptions.
- to deal critically with experimental results
- To plan embryonic experiments using hypothesis-driven logic
