3D Scans and Models in Anatomy

Project Team: Rebecca Schirone, Prof. Mahtab Bahramsoltani, Prof. Jan Ehlers, Dr. Giuliano Corte

In order to reduce animal testing and conserve resources, the focus is increasingly shifting to research in cell cultures. The epithelium of the rumen of ruminants is a multi-layered keratinizing squamous epithelium, which not only has a protective function but also crucial transport properties. Therefore, knowledge of the digestion and resorption processes in the rumen is very important for the improvement of feeding methods for ruminants. This project is dedicated to the establishment and characterization of a ruminal three-dimensional cell culture model in addition to the generation of ruminal organoids, which can then be used to study transport mechanisms and barrier properties.

E-Learning for the Didactic Qualification of Veterinarians

Project Team: Tabita Kurda, Dr. Christin Kleinsorgen, Dr. Stefan Nessler, Prof. Mahtab Bahramsoltani

The training of veterinarians does not only take place intramurally at universities’ educational institutions, but also extramurally in the context of various compulsory internships on farms, curative practices/clinics, veterinary offices, slaughterhouses and other veterinary institutions. In order to provide veterinarians that supervise students in the context of extramural internships with the opportunity for didactic qualification, this project deals with the development and evaluation of target group-oriented e-learning offers for further training in the field of veterinary didactics.
