Basic knowledge on research methods and statistics is not only relevant for preparing a doctoral thesis and (future) research projects, but also in clinical practice allowing physicians to practice best patient care.
This mandatory seminar for students of the 2nd semester in pre-med is based on didactic concepts of team-learning and is supported by tutors. Lecturers/Professors from different disciplines like Genetic Epidemiology are available in Q&A Sessions and as mentors.
Coordination: Medical Psychology and Medical Sociology

Extracurricular Teaching
The Bioinformatics Club serves as a platform for the scientific exchange between people working in (medical) bioinformatics and related fields of medicine and statistics of the Medical Center - University of Freiburg, associated institutions, the 11th Faculty of the University of Freiburg, and the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics.
At monthly meetings, methods, software, analytical challenges and potential solutions - especially in the context of high-dimensional data such as genome sequences - are presented and discussed.
The Institute of Genetic Epidemiology is coordinating the seminar.
Further information can be found here.

This Course establishes a framework to design, present and discuss scientific projects in the area of Genetic Epidemiology. At each weekly meeting, a single project is presented and discussed in more detail, with topics of general interest covered each week.
Registration: Participation after registration at Institute’s administrative office (bemb.ge.info@uniklinik-freiburg.de).
Course number: 04LE58S-GenEpiS3FA
This Seminar offers the opportunity to present projects at the Institute or external projects with a focus on the analysis of Metabolomics data and their integration with other -Omics data. Issues related to data processing and analysis and possible solutions are discussed, and implemented solutions and analysis results are reviewed.
Registration: Participation after registration at Institute’s secretariat (bemb.ge.info@uniklinik-freiburg.de).
Course number: 04LE58S-GenEpiS5FA
The MentoMed II program is a mentoring-program for medical students in their second part of the medical curriculum. The program is provided for medical students by the Medical Faculty of the University of Freiburg. Here, students (mentees) regularly meet up with physicians (mentors) for mentoring sessions to benefit from the physician’s expertise and past experiences.
Students, who are interested in becoming a Mentee in the MentoMed II program can register for one-on-one or group mentorings for two semesters. The assigned mentors are physicians working in the clinic or in research. Medical staff from the Institute of Genetic Epidemiology is actively participating in the Mentoring-program.
Aim of the Mentoring is to deliver insights into the daily routine of the mentors and their occupational history. The mentees also have the possibility to ask questions on subjects of interest, like carrier planning, medical thesis, internships, practical year, family and job possibilities. Mentors can offer advice, extra information, contact information for internships or help focusing on potential future aims.
