In this workshop you will get hands-on experience with induced pluripotent stem cells and sensory-like neurons derived from them. We will compare their morphology under the microscope and look at specific markers that identify each cell type. In the end, we will use patch clamp to record electrical activity, watching neurons fire action potentials.
Hands-On Classes 2026
On demand: Behavioural screen for molecular players in pain resolution
Responsible lecturer
Prof. R. Kittel, Dr. M. Selcho
Location
Institute of Biology, Leipzig University, Leipzig
Description
Participants will perform behavioural experiments in Drosophila to analyse molecular components involved in pain resolution, and visit the research facilities at the Institute of Biology at Leipzig University.
Additional Info: Drosophila experiments, Institute Tour. Travel costs will be covered by the KFO 5001, after discussion with Ms. Gewiß (resolvepain@ukw.de)

Electrophysiological barrier analysis
In this workshop the participants will learn some of the basics of electrophysiological barrier analysis using an Ussing chamber. Furthermore, they will virtually join an experiment of Two-path impedance spectroscopy. Using the gained data they will determine the para- and transcellular barrier and permeability properties. Participants should provide their email address.

The importance of social interactions in everyday life for pain: Smartphone-based assessment and intervention
The seminar deals with the importance of social interactions and social support in everyday life for pain. Ecological momentary assessment, a modern research method for investigating pain in everyday life, is presented. Participants also learn about measures, areas of application, and design options for ecological momentary interventions. In group exercises, participants can explore different areas of application.

Machine Learning - Basics and Examples
The hands-on session will be in two parts, a short lecture about the basics of machine learning, and a hands-on session, where participants dive through pre-written simple codes covering the following aspects:
- Common machine learning models used in clinical studies
- Deep learning models
- Large language models
Basic knowledge of python is all that is needed.
Participants are highly encouraged to bring their laptops.

RNA-Seq Essentials: RNA Isolation, Quality Assessment, and Raw Data Evaluation
In this course, we will provide practical tips for RNA isolation from various materials (such as DRG, nerves, and fixed tissues), discuss RNA quality criteria, compare reverse priming strategies, test RNA sample comparability, and demonstrate how to evaluate RNA-Seq raw data prior to computational analysis.
