Developmental biology has evolved from a descriptive discipline mainly concerned with morphological details to an integrative research area that covers a range of disciplines, from gene regulatory biology and stem cells to biophysics and the integration of internal processes with external stimuli like light and temperature. The discussed publications are selected to cover this range.Aims: The overall aim of the seminar is to guide the participants towards the ability to dissect a specific research publication, identify its most important question and approaches, and discuss the results critically in the framework of the existing knowledge.Methods: Each participant presents one seminar presentation on a publication and engages in scientific discussions of their own presentation and others.The language of this course is English.
