Guided learning

Apprentice

For bachelor, master and PhD students, trainees and prospective lab members.

Learning by doing

Start with a question. Build the experiment around it.

Student projects in the lab can move between microscopy, physiology, behaviour, coding and experimental hardware. The goal is not to arrive knowing everything — it is to learn how to turn curiosity into a tractable experiment.

From first measurement to first figure

Training is part of the research.

A future version of this section can walk through a real student project: the first day at the rig, the first useful trace, the first failed analysis, and the point where a result finally becomes interpretable.

Learning together

Advice from the lab

Students, mentors and technical staff share short perspectives on learning experiments, analysis and scientific independence.

Below: a faster overview of skills and project fit.

The long-form scroll section sets the scene; the cards below remain practical reference points.

Test mechanisms

Perturb membranes and channels with controlled experiments.

Test mechanisms

What you can learn

The student-facing branch is less condensed than the research branch, but still scientifically serious.

Hands-on physiology

Measure tiny movements

Learn how sounds, vibrations and sensory organs can be measured with quantitative methods.

Genetics and behaviour

Connect molecules to animals

Use model organisms to link genes, cells, sensory organs and behaviour.

Analysis and coding

Turn signals into insight

Work with traces, images, behavioural data and reproducible analysis pipelines.

Is this lab for you?

A future section can point to real student projects and thesis topics.
