Teaching

I have been teaching a variety of courses since the beginning of my PhD in 2015, usually single-topic courses and short series between 2 and 8 hours, in several areas of the life sciences.

Medical Informatics (elective project-based course)

• Mapping of ontology terms based on internal representation of biomedically trained Large Language Models (Heidelberg University Hospital, ‘Digital Medicine’).
• Annotation of single cells based on gene markers and free text using a combination of Large Language Models and ontology tools (Heidelberg University Hospital, ‘Digital Medicine’).

Meta-science (seminar series)

• GRADE Postgraduate Seminar Series ‘Reproducibility in Biomedical Research’ (Goethe University Frankfurt).
• MSc module ‘Reproducibility in Biomedical Research’ (Heidelberg University Hospital, Molecular Bioscience and Molecular Biotechnology programs)

Pharmacology (single or double courses of 3-6 hours)

• Basics of pharmacology:
  • pharmacodynamics,
  • pharmacokinetics.
• Specifics of pathology and pharmacology:
  • pain,
  • mental disease,
