After successful completion of the course, students are able to implement a small scientific project under supervision. This includes independent practical work in the lab, as well as literature research and writing a project thesis. The course serves as preparation for the diploma/master's thesis.

Understanding complex biological systems, such as human cells, at the molecular level is a particular challenge. Recreating biological phenomena in model systems with defined components and properties has proven to be a powerful means for dissecting molecular mechanisms. We develop and apply biophysical model systems and measurement methods that enable the reconstitution, observation and physical manipulation of cellular processes down to the level of individual molecules .

In this project work students are involved in ongoing research activities. These involve the production, functionalization and characterization of micro- and nanostructured surfaces and their use for cell biological and immunological questions, as well as the investigation of the systems using single molecule fluorescence microscopy.

In this project work students are involved in ongoing research activities.
