PhD Course Management

Short description

The aim of the course is to give the participants knowledge on best practice procedures when using the pig as an animal model in preclinical science. The students will learn more about ethics and the 3Rs. The course will furthermore draw attention to the importance of anaesthesia and analgesia and the participants will gain hands-on experience performing general surgical procedures. There will be lectures on regulatory requirements and application procedures. 

Short description

The aim of the course is to provide a solid theoretical and practical foundation in modern flow cytometry, enabling participants to assess and conduct flow cytometric experiments independently.

Short description

6 full day presence with a mix of lectures and case studies based on real-life examples. The participants will be trained in various concepts on how to drive innovative research projects. This includes preparing and presenting an investor pitch as well as submitting a high-level business plan.  Part of the course will be home assignments – both as part of a group and individually.

Short description

The aim is to give the students an overview of proteomics and the study of complex protein samples. The course will cover the theoretical basis and practical methodology of proteomics, as well of the sister technology metabolomics.

The course attendants will learn how to design and perform proteomic studies and will get understanding of its impact on research within life science and medicine.

Short description

The course aims to provide you with an idea about current methodologies, topics, and, not at least, principle investigators with research interests that could potentially help you on with your own project.

Short description

As a part of their teaching responsibilities, PhD-students sometimes act as co-supervisors for undergraduate students’ bachelor projects, written assignments, master thesis, or research year assignments. In doing so, the PhD-students play an important role as a near-peer-supervisor guiding the students in their learning. This course aims to prepare PhD-students for their role as co-supervisors on undergraduate students’ assignments and/or learning processes. The course is relevant for all PhD students who wish to improve the quality of their supervision of undergraduate students.

Short description

To provide a course on various aspects of human host-microbe interaction ranging from basic cell biology and microbiology (bacteriology, virology, genetics, molecular cell biology, immunology) to pathogenesis of infectious diseases and medicine.

Short description

The course provides detailed knowledge on flow cytometry, with a thorough review of the theoretical foundation necessary for performing state-of-the-art flow cytometry experiments, and includes extensive practical hands-on data analysis exercises covering the most important topics and pitfalls. Thus, the course provides the participant with a broad understanding of how to design multicolour flow cytometry experiments, how to handle sample material, and how to analyse and present flow cytometry data for publication.

Short description

To provide students with an overview on how to take a research idea through to implementing, analysing, and interpreting an epidemiologic study using the Danish Clinical Cancer Databases, and Denmark’s network of medical and population-based registries. Each concept will be introduced in a lecture. Through a combination of exercises and computer labs, students will be provided with guidance on implementing, analysing and interpreting studies using data from the clinical cancer databases. Students are not required to complete an exam at the end of the course.

Short description

Mandatory for main supervisors

The quality of PhD students’ education is partly dependent on the PhD supervisor’s competencies as a supervisor. The aim of this course in PhD supervision is to expand the participants’ repertoire of supervision strategies and methods to provide a flexible approach to supervision, strengthen their reflections on practices, roles, and relationships in the supervision process, and share experiences and new knowledge for advancing PhD supervisors’ competencies.

Short description

The objective of this PhD course is to familiarise participants to modern statistical methods for analyses of exposure data, in order to improve exposure effect analyses in occupational and environmental epidemiological studies.

Short description

The aim of the course is to give a practical and theoretical introduction to immunoassays with focus on quantitative assays (ELISA, TRIFMA). The course will give the participants skills to work with quantitative immunoassays in the laboratory and to troubleshoot in relation the daily routine work.

Short description

To support PhD students in their career decision-making process by increasing their career awareness, and to prepare them for the transition between academia and industry/public sector jobs.
