Aim and content This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD Students from NorDoc member faculties. 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 NorDoc member faculties. 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 their own field of research 2. Gain appreciation for novel mechanisms of extracellular matrix regulation (immune response, circadian clock) 3. Understand analytical methods used in matrix biology and learn about cutting edge techniques 4. Effectively present their own work and discuss the work of others 5. Understand the importance of matrix composition, organization 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 formation of collagen-rich and other matrix-rich tissues, and the coupling between matrix structure and function in health and diseases will be taught. The newest matrix research and technical approaches will be reported from areas like fibrosis, vasculature, infection, cancer and musculoskeletal disorders. 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: Basic and Clinical Research in Musculoskeletal Sciences Molecular Mechanisms of Disease Cellular and Genetic Medicine Language English Form Lectures, group work, discussion, oral presentations Course director Chloé Yeung, Dr, Institute of Sports Medicine Copenhagen, ching-yan.chloe.yeung@regionh.dk Teachers Douglas Dyer, Dr, University of Manchester, UK Joan Chang, Dr, University of Manchester, UK René Svensson, Associate Prof., DTU and Institute of Sports Medicine Copenhagen Janine Erler, Prof., BRIC Mike Davies, Prof., KU Niklas Jørgensen, Prof., Rigshospitalet Erwin Schoof, Dr, DTU Jasmin Bagge, Dr, Sports Orthopedic Research Center – Copenhagen (SORC-C) Peter Schjerling, Dr, Institute of Sports Medicine Copenhagen Clara Prats, Associate Prof., KU Niels Behrendt, Prof., Finsen Lab Chloé Yeung, Dr, Institute of Sports Medicine Copenhagen Dates 6, 7 and 8 November 2024 All days 08:30 – 15:45 Course location Bispebjerg Hospital Registration Please register before 2 October 2024 Expected frequency Once per year 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. Note: All applicants are asked to submit invoice details in case of no-show, late cancellation or obligation to pay the course fee (typically non-PhD students). If you are a PhD student, your participation in the course must be in agreement with your principal supervisor.
