Aim and content This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School). All other participants must pay the course fee. Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student, you will be placed on the waiting list for the course until enrollment deadline. After the deadline of enrollment, available seats will be allocated to students on the waiting list. Learning objectives A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: 1. Gain insight into the basics of matrix biology and relate this to his/her own field of research 2. Understand analytical methods used in matrix biology and critically appraise published articles in this field of research 3. Understand what methods are suitable for testing different study hypotheses. Content The role of the extracellular matrix in physiological, pathophysiological and pathological situations will be the main focus, and specifically the cell-matrix interaction, the formation of collagen and other matrix tissue, and the coupling between matrix structure and function in health and disease will be taught. The newest matrix research will be reported from areas like the musculo-skeletal system (bone, cartilage, tendon, muscle), skin, vasculature and cancer. All participants will have the opportunity to present and discuss their PhD projects, and we will discuss and evaluate relevant articles from the field of matrix biology research. Participants PhD students, no special qualifications required Relevance to graduate programmes The course is relevant to PhD students from the following graduate programmes at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences, UCPH: All graduate programs Basic and Clinical Research in Musculoskeletal and Oral Sciences Clinical Cancer Research Molecular Mechanisms of Disease Language English Form Lectures, group work, short presentations by participants Course director Chloé Yeung, Postdoc, Institute of Sports Medicine Copenhagen, Bispebjerg Hospital, chloe.yeung@gmail.com Teachers Katja Heinemeier, Senior researcher, (Institute of Sports Medicine Copenhagen), Clara Pratts Ass.
