Aim and content This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD students at graduate schools in the other Nordic countries. All other participants must pay the course fee. Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at a Danish university, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline. This also applies to PhD students from Nordic countries. After the enrollment deadline, available seats will be allocated to applicants 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 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. Participants No previous knowledge of matrix Biology is required. The course covers the basic background and key themes of matrix biology in the context of the latest research in cancer, circadian biology, wound healing as well as tissue development. 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. 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 programmes Language English Form Lecture, workshops, group work, short presentations by participants Course director Chloé Yeung, PhD, Institute of Sports Medicine Copenhagen, Bispebjerg Hospital, chloe.yeung@gmail.com Teachers Karl Kadler, Professor, University of Manchester Graham Riley, Professor, University of East Anglia Janine Erler, Professor, BRIC Michael Davies, Professor, KU Niklas Jørgensen, Professor, SDU Marie Kveiborg, Professor, KU Magnus Ågren, clinician, Bispebjerg Hospital Peter Schjerling, senior researcher, ISMC Costanza Montagna, postdoc, ISMC Clara Prats, Associate Professor, KU Niels Behrendt, Professor, BRIC René Svensson, postdoc, ISMC Chloé Yeung, postdoc, ISMC Dates 4 - 6 November 2020 Course location Bispebjerg Hospital Registration Please register before 1 October 2020 Seats to PhD students from other Danish universities will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and according to the applicable rules. Applications from other participants will be considered after the last day of enrolment.
