Internships

During the ECN programme each student will do 3 internships in basic science or clinical labs lasting 6 to 8 weeks.

Examples of project practicums (2006-2010):

  • The role of Smad7 in regulation of the adult neural stem/progenitor cell pool
  • Monitoring of neurogenesis during autoimmune CNS inflammation by bioluminiscence imaging
  • Regulation of T cell differentiation to encephalitogenic phenotypes by Smad7
  • The Influence of Mood on the recognition of Emotions
