Immunmetabolism (Bio-BB31)

Course content

The seminar gives an introduction into the metabolism of macrophages and how to analyze it by using isotope-labeling experiments and modeling. Especially the role of itaconic acid, ROS, NO and glutathione is discussed. Afterwards, different analytical methods for studying the immunometabolism of different cell lines will be presented by the students. The students will plan themselves the workflow for the practical course to answer different biological questions. The students will present their work by using different presentation concepts (talk, poster, etc).
