Learning outcomes

------------------------
MM: MODULO II
------------------------
Furnish base theoretical and practical concepts for a proteomic study.
------------------------
MM: MODULO I
------------------------
------------------------ MM: Metabolomica teoria ------------------------ The main objective of the course is to introduce the metabolomics analysis as an instrument to investigate the biological complexity of cells/tissues/organs/organisms from the point of view of the small molecules, that are the intermediate and end products of the metabolism. The metabolomics approach will be described as pipeline, a chain of connected steps from the experiment design up to the analysis and the data modeling. ------------------------ MM: Trascrittomica laboratorio ------------------------ The practical part of this Course aims to provide knowledge for proper planning, application and interpretation of a transcriptomic analysis. More in detail students will have the opportunity to design the experimental plan for a trascriptomic analysis, face the wet lab sample preparation procedure, specifically forthe RNASeq approach, and will perform the bioinformatic data analysis and interpretation. ------------------------ MM: Trascrittomica teoria ------------------------ The theory part of this course has as aim to explain what a transcriptomic analsys is and for which purpose it can be applied. Furthermore it aims to provide knowledge about the different approaches and technique which can be applied for a transcriptomic analysis.

Attendance modes and venues

As stated in the Didactic Regulations, there is no generalised obligation of attendance. Individual lecturers are, however, free to require a minimum number of hours of attendance for eligibilitỳ for the profit exam of the teaching they teach. In such cases, attendance of teaching activities is monitored in accordance with procedures communicated in advance to students.

Part-time enrolment is permitted. Find out more on the Part-time enrolment possibilities page.

The course's teaching activities take place in the Science and Engineering area, which is composed of the buildings of Ca‘ Vignal 1, Ca’ Vignal 2, Ca' Vignal 3 and Piramide, located in the Borgo Roma cluster, and Villa Lebrecht and Villa Eugenia located in the San Floriano di Valpolicella cluster. 
Lectures are held in the classrooms of Ca‘ Vignal 1, Ca’ Vignal 2 and Ca' Vignal 3, while practical exercises take place in the teaching laboratories dedicated to the various activities.
