Kursinnehåll

As part of the FWF science communication project "Hands-On Aging Research," you will have the opportunity to experience the world of academic research.
The accompanying MOOC specifically prepares students for the Flying Aging Labs, where they will get to know methods of aging research at their schools. Therefore, this MOOC vividly explains a variety of laboratory methods – from cell cultivation to drug testing on the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans.
Additionally, we offer fascinating insights into the different fields of activity and professions in the laboratory. We are looking forward to a lively exchange!
