RNA-silencing
Molecular biology
Currently I am teaching different laboratory course exercises in the area of Molecular plant biology, molecular biology and cell biology, in topics ranging from plant tissue culture, measurement of enzymatic activities, and molecular cloning.
Every second year (next time in autumn semester 2019) I am teaching lecture courses in Astrobiology, Origin of life, and TimeTrek (covering the deep natural history of the world)
