Learning objectives
The course aims to provide students the notions of Clinical Biochemistry and Clinical Molecular Biology aimed at understanding the fundamental concepts in the field of applied medicine in laboratory research and personalized medicine. Teaching will also be based on the description of recent published scientific papers, allowing the student to be provided with up-to-date notions in the areas of liquid biopsy, pharmacogenomics and molecular biology. The notions provided during the course will enable the student to develop a critical capacity regarding new diagnostic techniques in the clinical setting. By the end of the course, the student will have acquired: a) knowledge and application of possible circulating biomarkers of pathology; b) knowledge of analytical methodologies; c) ability to apply the acquired knowledge for a scientific approach to analysis; d) knowledge of molecular analysis for personalized medicine
Lectures will be theoretical with the possibility of some hands-on labs in the area of Molecular Biology.
