BIO-480: Neuroscience: from molecular mechanisms to diseaseThe goal of the course is to guide students through the essential aspects of molecular neuroscience and neurodegenerative diseases. The student will gain the ability to dissect the molecular basis of disease in the nervous system in order to begin to under ...
BIO-300: Mechanics of cells and tissuesIn this course, students will explore how mechanical stimuli shape molecular responses, cell behaviors, and tissue architecture, with an emphasis on regeneration and disease. Basic image analysis tools will be introduced to determine cellular and tissue pr ...
BIO-482: Neuroscience: cellular and circuit mechanismsThis course focuses on the biophysical mechanisms of mammalian brain function. We will describe how neurons communicate through synaptic transmission in order to process sensory information ultimately leading to motor behavior. ...
BIO-311: NeuroscienceThis neuroscience course progresses from core cellular mechanisms of neuronal signaling to integrated brain systems controlling sensory processing, movement, and behavior, culminating in learning, memory, and nervous system disorders. ...
NX-422: Neural interfacesNeural interfaces (NI) are bioelectronic systems that interface the nervous system to digital technologies. This course presents their main building blocks (transducers, instrumentation & communication), reviews current and upcoming materials and technolog ...
EE-519: Bioelectronics and biomedical microelectronicsThe course covers the fundaments of bioelectronics and integrated microelectronics for biomedical and implantable systems. Issues and trade-offs at the circuit and systems levels of invasive microelectronic systems as well as their eluding designs, methods ...
NX-436: Advanced methods for human neuromodulationNeuromodulation is an expending field especially in human translational neuroscience and neurotechnology. This course will introduce to different approaches / technologies for neuromodulation, their underlying mechanisms of action and application in humans ...
BIO-499: Neural circuits of motivated behaviorsMotivated behaviors fulfil the basic physiological needs of animals and enable their safety. In this course, you will learn about the neuronal circuits that sense and regulate internal states, detect dangers in the environment, and organize appropriate beh ...
AR-597(a): Superstudio AThis Superstudio will study the history of the villa by focusing on 30 case studies, from antiquity to the last century. The aim of this study is to understand through the architecture of the villa the most quintessential tropes of architecture: form, poli ...
BIO-679: Practical - Suter LabBioluminescence imaging and data analysis Splinkerette PCR (to analyze genomic insertion site of a transgene).
The students will obtain theoretical and practical insight into embryonic stem cell biology and the study of gene expression fluctuations in sin ...
