Learning outcomes

To understand the fundamental processes of the science of DNA and the flow of information that leads from DNA to RNA to proteins.
To understand mechanisms, function and regulation of these processes.
To educate medical students to the scientific method through the description of experiments that allowed the elucidation of molecular biological mechanisms.
To understand recombinant DNA technologies and their potential.

Upon completing the course, students will be able to understand the main molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of gene expression and how these knowledge can be applied in the field of modern biomedicine.

Examination Methods

The exam consists of a written test containing 30 multiple-choice questions.
There is also an open question to which the student should anser in a concise, precise, clear and organic way.
Students who will pass the written test will be admitted to a short oral exam, during which topics related to the course will be discussed.

NOTE: Should the need to hold the exams in telematic mode continue, the University and the Ministry's instructions will be followed.
The remote mode is guaranteed for all students who will ask for it in the academic year 2020/21.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
