Casa editrice Zanichelli - Educational objectives
- Il corso ha l'obiettivo di fornire una comprensione approfondita dei meccanismi molecolari che regolano la struttura, la funzione e la dinamica dei sistemi biologici, integrando le conoscenze classiche della biologia molecolare con i più recenti approcci genomici, trascrittomici, proteomici e multi-omici. Lo studente acquisirà la capacità di interpretare i processi cellulari a livello molecolare, comprendere le reti di regolazione genica e proteica, e valutare criticamente le principali tecnologie avanzate utilizzate nella ricerca biomedica e biotecnologica.
- Prerequisites
- Basis of Molecular biology
- Teaching methods
- Lectures in mixed mode. Students with specific personal or work-related reasons obtain permission to connect online.
The lessons are carried out with the support of PowerPoint presentations which will be uploaded to the Unistudium system, so that all registered students can view them. The teacher asks for continuous feedback from the students with direct questions and logical connections. Furthermore, at the end of the lesson, the teacher uses a few minutes to summarize what was presented in class, encouraging students to collaborate. Paths and materials consistent with the needs of disabled and/or DSA students are provided - Other information
- Constant attendance is strongly recommended both because all the topics have a logical sequence and because practical examples are given in each lesson, stimulating discussion.
The teacher is available for any clarification with meetings in person or online, via the Teams platform, agreeing dates and times with the student - Learning verification modality
- Final oral exam which will evaluate the knowledge acquired. Assessment methodologies consistent with the needs of disabled and/or DSA students are envisaged
- Extended program
