SPIRIT - Summer School "Molecular Genetics for Zoologists" (incl. Symposium)

The 3-day hands-on summer school will take place before the symposium. During the training, we will discuss how  RNAi, genome editing, transgenesis, omics and imaging can be applied to your specific projects, with the goal that you leave Göttingen with an enhanced working plan for your research. The summer school is limited to 20 PhD students and postdocs.

At the beginning of July, we will send out confirmations of acceptance for the summer school.

Following the summer school, the 2-day symposium will bring together international scientists working on understanding the function of genes underlying a wide range of zoological phenomena, including contributed talks and discussions.

By registering here, you are signing up for both the summer school and the symposium. 

If you would like to attend only the symposium, please register here!
