The Danish and global plant production is facing major challenges. The rapid population growth, the increased consumption of animal products and the use of crops for energy purposes demand an increased production. In addition, climate change is expected to have pronounced effects on plant production. At the same time there is also a strong wish among the public that future plant production can take place with minimal applications of pesticides and fertilizers. Plant biotechnology is expected to...

The content of the Summer School focuses on the Mediterranean Foods and their Nutritional Value highlighting the current trends in the field of Food Science and Nutrition. The Mediterranean Foods develop within the unique geomorphologic landscape and alternating climate of the Mediterranean. Through these unique characteristics of the Mediterranean basin, a rich biodiversity of plant and animal organisms emerges which, in turn, transforms into plentiful foods of plant and animal origin.

The brain is among one of the most complex systems known to man. An understanding of its dynamics and function requires quantitative analysis, and a fusion from multiple disciplines. In Neural Metrics 2.0 we will build on the success from the previous year, focussing on methods for understanding brain networks such as Connectomics, Bayesian modeling and Neural Maps, with world class speakers and a focus on hands-on tutorials and student projects.To mechanistically understand the neuronal substr...
The brain as a networkIn order to fully understand the neuronal substrate of human cognition, we need to start viewing the working brain as a network.Many neurological and mental disorders are viewed as the result of a malfunction at the network level. The growing interest in brain networks is complemented by rapid theoretical and technical developments. We will embrace these developments throughout the course to help us understand the human brain network. This will be done by examining the the...
The course focuses on modern nano formulations (particles, probes, markers) that are used for visualizing molecules or higher assemblies, such as viruses in cells and tissues. In addition, the course deals with the trafficking of these probes inside cells and tissues, as well as the methods for their visualization (confocal light microscopy and electron microscopy). Image reconstruction from multidimensional confocal data as well as from electron tomography images are also discussed with some f...
