A group of people wearing wetsuits and yellow helmets stand together on a grassy shore near a body of water, reminiscent of a Hochschule Coburg outdoor adventure team. They are gathered around a kiteboarding sail lying on the ground as the overcast sky looms above.

A group of people, possibly from Hochschule Coburg, sit in a circle on chairs in a grassy area with small cabins in the background. They enjoy a casual gathering outdoors under a partially cloudy sky.

(Press Office) Beach, surfing and learning: In the elective course Epigenetics on the Bachelor’s degree course in Bioanalytics, they go hand in hand.
The students learned the basics of epigenetics in Denmark. Epigenetics is one of the most important fields of research and application in human bioanalytics.
Epigenetics influences the development of diseases and explains how our environment and lifestyle affect our genome and its activity.
Prof. Dr. Janosch Hildebrand from the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Health offered the elective course “Epigenetics and small non-coding RNAs” on this exciting topic.
The five-day block seminar took place in the Danish South Sea in Kegneas.
In the best weather and in a relaxed and motivating atmosphere, the students got to know the subject and gave interesting lectures on selected epigenetics topics.
The perfect mix of learning and free time together made the seminar a very special experience.
In addition to the fascinating world of epigenetics, the students learned how to kitesurf in a kitesurfing course on site.
The evenings ended under the sun on the beautiful local beach with shallow waves.
The seminar will take place again next summer semester.
If you are interested in bioanalytics or another interesting course at Coburg University of Applied Sciences, you can register for the winter semester here.
