Administration of the Research Unit and central platforms for "Genetic paternity determination" and "Endocrinological determination"

• Applicants: Professorin Dr. Sylvia Kaiser; Professor Dr. Fritz Trillmich
• Subject Area: Sensory and Behavioural Biology
• Term: from 2009 to 2014
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 102315388

The central project serves to coordinate the PhD program within the Research Unit, organize travel among groups, seminar series, master classes, a yearly retreat, method courses and a workshop. It eases and stimulates interaction among groups by allowing students to spend some time in another laboratory of the group for joint experiments and method transfer. International visibility of the research through presentations at conferences will also be organized through the central project. In addition, this project comprises two method platforms, "Genetic Paternity Determination" in Bielefeld and "Endocrinological determinations" in Münster. Complex statistical problems can be addressed by applying cutting edge statistical methods through cooperation with the Statistics Centre at Bielefeld University
