Continuous advancements in techniques, such as genome engineering and high-resolution imaging, further enhance its utility for various disciplines. However, cutting-edge methods are often inaccessible even in established labs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This course provides essential training for early-career researchers entering these dynamic fields and specialists seeking to expand their expertise. Through hands-on practicals, participants gain valuable experience in conducting experiments, while lectures and discussions with leading faculty highlight how these technologies address key scientific questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The topics of the lectures include genome organisation, cell division, development, tissue function, physiology, evolution, and environmental interactions. Practical sessions range from basic techniques, including handling, staging, and maintenance, to advanced and specialised techniques in genome editing, sample preparation, imaging, and image analysis, incorporating new methods like microfluidics-based high-throughput microscopy and analysis techniques, including AI-driven segmentation and spot detection. This course offers a stimulating learning experience, empowering researchers to fully leverage&nbsp;<em>C. elegans<\/em>&nbsp;in advancing their scientific work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Audience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This practical course is aimed at early career scientists, mostly postdocs and advanced graduate students with an interest in <em>C. elegans<\/em>. You are welcome to join if you have little or no prior experience in working with <em>C. elegans <\/em>and want to use this model organism to advance your research, but also if you are an experienced<em> C. elegans<\/em> researcher who wants to expand their tool set. The course will cover state-of-the-art techniques that are \u2013 or will become \u2013 essential for a broad range of research topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modules\/resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The course lectures and practical modules develop in three axes of genes, cells, tissues. It will cover the following modules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lectures:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Genome and epigenome: structure, function, silencing, environment interactions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cell cycle, division, symmetry breaking, cell biomechanics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cell death and degeneration in development, aging (and genome instability) in disease<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tissue specification, transcriptome dynamics, morphogenesis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tissue morphogenesis, cell lineage tracing and forces<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tissue assembly, connectivity, activity, cell interactions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Practicals:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Web resources for&nbsp;<em>C.elegans<\/em>&nbsp;research<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>C. elegans<\/em>&nbsp;handling and genetic manipulations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Imaging (fixed\/live) cells and molecules<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Image analysis (deconvolution, EM image analysis, optogenetics, tracing, and lineaging<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning outcomes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After this course you should know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The advantages of C. elegans for your research<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Handling and maintenance of C. elegans<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Staging and C. elegans life cycle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Designing and performing forward and reverse genetics experiments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Principles of generating transgenic animals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The potential of C. elegans imaging \u2013 from high-throughput imaging to live imaging and high-resolution imaging<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Options for analysis and visualization of diverse images \u2013 3D rendering,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>segmentation and spot detection, high-throughput analysis, lineage tracing, tracking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What past participants say about the course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;This course is fantastic! If you want to start working with C. elegans, this course will give youan amazing overview of what you will be able to do with this elegant worm. The trainers andspeakers are extremely motivated and helpful. You will be picked up at whatever level you maycurrently be and they do their best to teach the key steps of all the important techniques. The other attendees were also super nice and helpful and I hope that the contacts gained from this course will develop into long-lasting collaborators and friends. I can absolutely recommend this course!&#8221;<\/em> \u2014 Martin Vogel, TUD Dresden University of Technology, Germany<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;This course was everything I had hoped and more. I have come away from it feeling like an allround better scientist, with new techniques, new ideas, and new friends!
