The IMPRS Summer School on "Gene Expression across Scales" offers a series of research talks by invited speakers, lectures on cutting-edge technologies and uniquely designed workshops that bridge various methodological scales for studying the regulation of gene expression. Topics range from systems biology and big data analysis to mechanistic structural biology and high-resolution imaging.
A key part of this summer school is the interaction between invited speakers and participants. Accordingly, all participants will have to present their research in a poster format, and some selected participants will be invited to give a talk based on their poster abstract.
The summer school is a collaboration between the International Max Planck Research School for Biology and Computation (IMPRS-BAC, MPIMG, Berlin) and the International Max Planck Research School for Genome Science (IMPRS-GS, MPINAT, Göttingen) graduate programs. The number of seats is limited, and priority will be given to doctoral candidates from both IMPRS-BAC and IMPRS-GS.
