4. Contamination lab

The Contamination Lab Verona (CLab Verona) is an experiential pathway with modules dedicated to innovation and business culture that offers the opportunity to work in teams with students from all courses of study to solve challenges launched by companies and institutions. The pathway allows students to receive 6 CFUs in the D or F area. Discover the challenges: https://www.univr.it/clabverona- Opens in a new window

PLEASE NOTE: To be eligible to take any teaching activity, including electives, you must be enrolled in the year of the course in which it is offered. Therefore, it is recommended that undergraduates of the December and April sessions DO NOT take extracurricular activities of the new academic year, in which they are not enrolled, since these degree sessions are valid with reference to the previous academic year. Therefore, for activities carried out in an academic year in which they are not enrolled, no recognition of CFUs can be given.

5. Internship/internship period

In addition to the CFUs stipulated in the curriculum (check carefully what is indicated on the Educational Regulationshere- services - internships and apprenticeships - science and engineering It opens in a new window you can find information on how to activate the internship.

Check in the regulations which activities can be Type D and which can be Type F.

Please also note that for internships activated from October 1, 2024, it will be possible to recognize excess hours in terms of Type D credits, limited only to internship experiences carried out at host institutions outside the University.

Learning objectives

The cell biology course I focuses on the main features of the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell, on structure and function of subcellular compartments, on cell division and cytological techniques. The origin of life on Earth and the origin of the cells will also be considered in this course. The aim of the course is to give to the students all the necessary background knowledge to continue their studies (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology courses). The cell biology course II focuses on the main processes in the life of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, the flow of infor-mation, cell division and vescicular trafficking. This course will enhable the students to better understand Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology courses Theoretical principles of cytological techniques will also be considered in this course. The laboratory will support the understanding of the theory and will enable the students to use optical microscope and prepare simple experiments. Moreover, they will learn how to write a scientific report.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Being a first year exam, there are no specific prerequisites other than those required for access to the degree course.
