Welcome
For more than a century Cell and Developmental Biology has been one major research focus at the Zoological Institute of the Julius-Maximilians-University in Würzburg. Here, Theodor Boveri founded the chromosome theory of inheritance and Hans Spemann did his habilitation. Today, our recently refurbished department continues to provide an inspiring scientific environment for several committed research groups. We work on basic aspects of membrane biology as well as on cell motility, meiosis, epigenetics or control of gene expression. Our approach is always quantitative and interdisciplinary using state-of-the art technology. We promote the deadly African trypanosomes as powerful cell biological model system, but also work with mammalian and yeast cells, C. elegans, the claw frog Xenopus and the enigmatic hydra. Besides our passion for science we are dedicated teachers. Each year hundreds of students attend our newly designed practical courses, seminars and lectures.

Neue und neu strukturierte Lehrveranstaltungen im Sommersemester. Aufgrund der regen Nachfrage passen wir unser Lehrangebot pünktlich zum Sommersemester erneut an: Das Nadelöhr „F1-Seminar“ im Masterstudium wurde durch eine Zusatzveranstaltung „entschärft“. Im Bachelorstudium bieten wir erstmals ein Entwicklungsbiologie-Praktikum im Bereich „Biologie für Fortgeschrittene“ an. Unser SBW1-Kurs wurde neu strukturiert, ergänzt und wird als äquivalent zu „Biologie für Fortgeschrittene“ anerkannt … MORE |
