Introductory lecture series on epigenetics, WS 2022/23

We are happy to announce the 6th edition of our “Introductory Lecture Series on Epigenetics” with high profile scientists from Freiburg, Saarbrücken, Munich and Basel.

The lecture is an important element in the education of PhD students but is of course also open for postdoctoral fellows and other scientists. It may also be of use for advanced undergraduate students with a good knowledge in Biochemistry (MSc level, 3rd-4th year Diploma or Staatsexamen).

It is not necessary to register.

The lecture takes place Wednesdays from 10:00 – 12:00 c.t.  in winter term 2022/23 at the lecture hall of the Institute of Biology 1 (Hauptstraße 1, D-79104 Freiburg). It will be given in English.

Certificate of attendance (minimum 12/15 lectures) will be issued upon request.

Please note: Based on changing pandemic regulations, we may switch to an online format. So please check our website regularly for updates.
