Teaching

In the Bachelor's degree program, the department represents the field of general nutritional science in teaching. The Master's modules focus on nutrition-related molecular mechanisms, the influence and mode of action of genetic, nutritional and lifestyle-related risk factors for nutrition-related diseases, as well as the teaching of methodological skills to investigate issues in this field.

Topics for Bachelor's and Master's Theses

The department offers Bachelor's and Master's theses on the research topics listed above. We are also happy to consider students' own topics as far as possible.

Master's theses are always experimental. Bachelor's theses are mainly assigned as literature theses. A limited number of experimental Bachelor's theses are also offered each semester.

BioBank

Development of a biobank

collaboration with Dr. med. Matthias Raggi, Karl-Olga-Krankenhaus, Adipositaszentrum Stuttgart.

- - -

In the search for the causes of complex diseases, samples and data from biobanks are an enormously important source. We are therefore dedicated to establishing a scientific collection of samples of human adipose tissue (subcutaneous and visceral) for biomedical research purposes - also known as a biobank.

The biobank opens up the possibility of linking information obtained from scientific studies of these samples with data on the clinical course of diseases. In addition, it is hoped that they can make a significant contribution to the development of new diagnostic procedures and therapies.
