Reference texts
The teacher will prepare the didactic materials on the basis of the scientific literature available on the specific topics. Accordingly, participation to the teacher's lessons is essential. On specific topics, references to specific articles or textbooks will be provided.
Educational objectives
The course aims to provide students with the basic knowledge on the diagnostic and therapeutic techniques the most update biotechnological method in the field of hemostasis and thrombosis.
Prerequisites
General biology, animal and vegetal models for biotecnology, molecular biology, principles of general anatomy and physiology, pharmacology
Teaching methods
Didactic activity will be mainly focused on face-to-face lessons using Power Point slides, practical lessons will be made at the Hemostasis and Thrombosis Centre.
Other information
The attendance to at least 80% of the lessons is required in order to allow a good understanding of the arguments in the absence of a single reference textbook. Materials presented during classes will be made available after the lessons.
Learning verification modality
Multiple choice and free text, written assessment
