    Technical University of Munich Facts & Figures 2018/19 Microscopic examination in cancer research The Entrepreneurial University The Technical University of Munich (TUM) ranks among Europe’s most outstanding universities in research and innovation – an achievement powered by its distinctive character as “Entrepreneurial University”: Science beyond boundaries. TUM’s broad spectrum of subjects is unmatched across Europe, spanning engineering, the natural and life sciences, medicine, economics and social sciences. The university leverages this enormous potential by intensively and intelligently lin- king the different disciplines. In doing so, it successfully develops new fields of research extending from bioengineering to artificial intelli- gence. Simultaneously, it addresses the social, ethical and economic issues raised by technological change. Research meets practice. Doing research with the brightest minds in science, steering international projects and gaining early business experience: Students at TUM are perfectly prepared for working on the important topics of our time. That is why employers regularly nominate TUM as one of the top ten universities in the world. Opportunities for talent. TUM offers amazing opportunities at every level of study and research, starting with the first semester right through to professorship. It invests more than other universities in the professional development of individual talent. From lab to market.

  • Teacher Questions and Student Responses in Case-Based Learning
    Gartmeier et al. BMC Medical Education (2019) 19:455 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12909-019-1895-1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Teacher questions and student responses in case-based learning: outcomes of a video study in medical education Martin Gartmeier1* , Theresa Pfurtscheller1, Alexander Hapfelmeier2, Marc Grünewald1, Janina Häusler2, Tina Seidel3 and Pascal O. Berberat1 Abstract Background: Case-based learning (CBL) is a highly interactive instructional format widely used in medical education. One goal of CBL is to integrate basic biomedical knowledge and its application to concrete patient cases and their clinical management. In this context, we focus the role of teacher questions as triggers for reproductive vs. elaborative student responses. Specifically, our research questions concern the kinds of questions posed by clinical teachers, the kinds of responses given by students, the prediction of student responses based upon teacher questions, and the differences between the two medical disciplines in focus of our study, internal medicine and surgery. Methods: We analyse 19 videotaped seminars (nine internal medicine, ten surgery) taught by clinicians and attended by advanced medical students. Multiple raters performed a low-inference rating process using a theory- based categorical scheme with satisfactory interrater-reliability. Results: We found that medical teachers mostly posed initial (instead of follow-up) questions and that their questions were more often closed (instead of open). Also, more reasoning (than reproductive) questions were posed. A high rate of student non-response was observed while elaborative and reproductive student responses had a similar prevalence. In the prediction context, follow-up reasoning questions were associated with low non- response and many elaborative answers.

The aim of this study was to identify novel biomarkers that more effectively predict outcome. Due to the high metabolic demand aggressive tumors frequently overexpress Hsp70. Depending on its intra- or extracellular localization, Hsp70 either promotes tumor progression or stimulates the immune system. All gliomas express mHsp70 and high grade gliomas show a strong nuclear and cytosolic Hsp70 expression.
