RMU Master Module

RMU Master Module: DNA Repair & Genome Stability

Since 2019, the SFB 1361 has organised an annual lecture series on “DNA Repair & Genome Stability” which was open to interested scientists and students affiliated with the participating institutions. In the 2024 summer semester, the lecture series develops further into a Rhein-Main Universities (RMU) Master Module on “DNA Repair & Genome Stability” with the goal to emphasize the importance of maintaining genome stability and to explain how genome stability can prevent disease and aging. The RMU Master Module is comprised of 2 weeks of lectures and a 4 to 6 week laboratory practical that will be open to Master´s students from JGU Mainz and TU Darmstadt.

Lectures will be given by representatives of the SFB 1361 on molecular mechanisms that maintain genome stability and DNA repair pathways. Lectures will take place across 2 weeks in April 2024 at IMB Mainz, JGU Mainz and TU Darmstadt. Please find the full schedule below or on the poster.

During the laboratory practical, students will learn various lab based techniques to assay genome stability, DNA damage, DNA repair and checkpoint activation. The laboratory practical will be hosted by SFB 1361 representatives from participating institutions and is open to Master´s students from JGU Mainz and TU Darmstadt that are registered for the RMU Master Module.

If you are a JGU Mainz Master’s student, you can take this as a full module (module A, B, & C) or only attend the lectures (module C). In order to receive credits points, please register via JOGU-StINe.

If you are a TU Darmstadt Master’s student, you can take this as a full module. In order to receive credits points, please register via TUCaN.

Lectures are open to scientists and students affiliated with the participating institutions and can be attended independently of the laboratory practical.
