- Prerequisites
- Molecular Biology, Biochemistry
ChemistryùCellular Biology - Teaching methods
- Lectures will be made by using slides and movies. Some lessons could be dedicated to innovative issues also proposed by students, with the involvement of students themselves.
Practical lessons (1 CFU) will be held in the laboratory and will focus on basic methodologies such as transfection of nucleic acids on host cells and analysis of recombinant proteins by immunofluorence. - Other information
- It is planned a tutorial activity during the course and for students who request help for the preparation of the exam. The dates of receipt students are available in the professor's website.
- Learning verification modality
- Oral exam
