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. Describe the basic principles of mitochondria homeostasis 2. Understand how mitochondrial metabolism contribute to neuronal health 3. Identify the differential role of mitochondrial metabolism in neurons and glia during neurodegeneration and evaluate the cross-disciplinary constraint of the field 4. Analyse and discuss the translational aspects within the field 5. Propose relevant experimental approaches to investigate mitochondrial metabolism in the CNS during health and disease Content This course will provide insights into basic and innovative research and new techniques within the cross-disciplinary fields of neuroscience and metabolism. The primary focus will be on understand the newest described mitochondria contribution to brain homeostasis, with emphasis on neuron homeostasis and how this translate into pathological conditions such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's Disease and Multiple sclerosis. The course will also focus to state-of-the art experimental approaches to investigate questions in the field of mitochondrial metabolism in CNS. Participants The course is offered to PhD students from relevant fields at Faculty of Health, KU. No formal requirements. 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: - Neuroscience - Molecular Mechanisms of Disease - Basic Metabolic Research Language English Form The course builds upon a series of lectures from Danish and European experts in Neurology, Neuropsychiatry, Metabolism and Immunology. In addition to the lectures, the PhD course will include problem-based assignments to be solved during the course period and presented by the participating PhD students. The students will also have the possibility to present their work to specialists in the field on a poster form.
