Teaching parasitology equips students with essential knowledge about parasites, their biology, and their impact on health. It fosters critical thinking and practical skills for research, diagnostics, and disease control.
The organization and implementation of teaching lie with Dr. med. vet. Pamela Beelitz. The curriculum includes courses in the areas of Parasitology, it includes lectures, practical exercises, and a wide range of optional courses.
This three-week practical internship offers students a unique opportunity to engage in a full experimental workflow, from planning to analysis. Throughout the program, students will design and execute experiments aimed at generating mutant Toxoplasma gondii, gaining hands-on experience with cutting-edge molecular biology techniques.
Starting with experimental design and genetic modification strategies, students will work through the process of parasite transformation, culture, and selection. They will then analyze the impact of mutations using microscopy, molecular assays, and functional studies. This immersive experience not only reinforces technical skills but also fosters critical thinking and problem-solving, providing a comprehensive understanding of research in parasite genetics.
This three-week practical internship runs annually during the winter semester, between February and March. This immersive training is ideal for those interested in molecular biology, genetics, and infectious diseases or simply curious about laboratory work.
An internship in a scientific laboratory or diagnostic service is an invaluable experience for anyone passionate about science and healthcare. It provides hands-on exposure to cutting-edge techniques, instruments, and real-world problem-solving. You’ll get to work alongside experts, gaining insight into research methods, data analysis, and laboratory protocols.
Beyond technical skills, an internship helps you understand the workflow of a lab, from sample processing to result interpretation, and its impact on patient care or scientific discovery. It’s also a great opportunity to network, explore career paths, and refine your interests. Whether you’re considering research, diagnostics, or clinical applications, an internship is the perfect way to bridge theory with practice and prepare for your future career!
