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. Course title Matrix Biology – physiology and function of the extracellular matrix 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 3. Effectively present their own work and discuss the work of others 4. Understand the importance of matrix composition, organisation and modification for tissue-specific function 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 to think creatively about what they have learn in a group work setting.
