| Contents | Symptoms, diagnosis and therapeutical approaches for diseases that are associated with defects in ion channel function. In particular, we will teach basics in molecular medicine and physiology related to so-called channelopathies. |
| Learning and qualification objectives | Structure and function of relevant transport proteins and their impact for cell function. Pathophysiological mechanisms. Diagnosis and therapy of diseases linked to ion channel defects. Practical teaching: Research-oriented measurement and quantitative analysis of transport processes relevant for select diseases. Seminar: Theoretical preparation, analysis and graphical and verbal presentation of the results. |
