Studying at the University of Verona
Here you can find information on the organisational aspects of the Programme, lecture timetables, learning activities and useful contact details for your time at the University, from enrolment to graduation.
Type D and Type F activities
Type D learning activities are the student's choice, type F activities are additional knowledge useful for job placement (internships, transversal skills, project works, etc.). According to the Teaching Regulations of the Course, some activities can be chosen and entered independently in the booklet, others must be approved by a special committee to verify their consistency with the study plan. Type D or F learning activities can be covered by the following activities.
1. Modules taught at the University of Verona
Include the modules listed below and/or in the Course Catalogue (which can also be filtered by language of delivery via Advanced Search).
Booklet entry mode: if the teaching is included among those listed below, the student can enter it independently during the period in which the curriculum is open; otherwise, the student must make a request to the Secretariat, sending the form to carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it during the period indicated.
2. CLA certificate or language equivalency
In addition to those required by the curriculum/study plan, the following are recognized for those matriculated from A.Y. 2021/2022:
- English language: 3 CFUs are recognized for each level of proficiency above that required by the course of study (if not already recognized in the previous course of study).
- Other languages and Italian for foreigners: 3 CFUs are recognized for each proficiency level starting from A2 (if not already recognized in the previous study cycle).
These CFUs will be recognized, up to a maximum of 6 CFUs in total, of type F if the study plan allows it, or of type D. Additional elective credits for language knowledge may be recognized only if consistent with the student's educational project and if adequately justified.
Those enrolled until A.Y. 2020/2021 should consult the information found here.
Method of inclusion in the booklet: request the certificate or equivalency from CLA and send it to the Student Secretariat - Careers for the inclusion of the exam in the career, by email: carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it
3. Transversal skills
Discover the training paths promoted by the University's TALC - Teaching and learning center intended for students regularly enrolled in the academic year of course delivery https://talc.univr.it/it/competenze-trasversali
Mode of inclusion in the booklet: the teaching is not expected to be included in the curriculum. Only upon obtaining the Open Badge will the booklet CFUs be automatically validated. The registration of CFUs in career is not instantaneous, but there will be some technical time to wait.
4. CONTAMINATION LAB
The Contamination Lab Verona (CLab Verona) is an experiential course with modules on innovation and enterprise culture that offers the opportunity to work in teams with students from all areas to solve challenges set by companies and organisations.
Upon completion of a CLab, students will be entitled to receive 6 CFU (D- or F-type credits).

PLEASE NOTE: In order to be admitted to any teaching activities, including those of your choice, you must be enrolled in the academic year in which the activities in question are offered. Students who are about to graduate in the December and April sessions are therefore advised NOT to undertake extracurricular activities in the new academic year in which they are not enrolled, as these graduation sessions are valid for students enrolled in the previous academic year. Therefore, students who undertake an activity in an academic year in which they are not enrolled will not be granted CFU credits.
5. Internship/internship period
In addition to the CFUs stipulated in the curriculum/study plan (check carefully what is indicated on the Teaching Regulations): here information on how to activate the internship.
Check in the regulations which activities can be Type D and which can be Type F.

Learning objectives
Knowledge and understanding The course aims to provide students with the knowledge and understanding of the algorithms and advanced programming tools for the management of single cell and spatial transcriptomic data. Applying knowledge and understanding The student will therefore be able to a) apply the algorithms and advanced programming tools for the analysis of single cell and spatial transcriptomic data; b) apply the code performance analysis and identify critical issues and their optimization. Making judgements Ability to independently propose effective and efficient solutions for the biomedical and bioinformatics application domain; ability to identify critical issues for the treatment of complex bioinformatics problems related to the analysis of single cell and spatial transcriptomic data. Communication The student will also be able to interact with various interlocutors in a multidisciplinary biomedical and bioinformatics context, to interact with colleagues in the performance of group work, and to interact with the interlocutors in the working or research environment. Lifelong learning skills Ability to understand scientific literature in the process of interpreting the results or proposed solution, and to carry out individual and group in-depth studies aimed at tackling problems from the research and business world.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Conceptual and practical notions of programming languages
Program
Data structures and algorithms to analyze:
- single cell data,
- spatial transcriptomics data
- multimodal omics
Application on real studies presented by Bio / Med experts in the sector.
Deepening through seminars by international experts on computational aspects and data production technologies.
Bibliography
Didactic methods
Students will follow theoretical lessons and exercises whose content will be provided via notebook or R Markdown. Students will install and use the software related to the chosen topics and will analyze real cases.
Learning assessment procedures
Development of a project in the classroom (or remotely to be evaluated with the teacher).
Evaluation criteria
Explanation, through presentation and demo, critical and detailed, of the methodologies used for the development of the project and of the biomedical results obtained. The presentation can take place in front of experts of the applications dealt with.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The grade is composed of the evaluation of three factors: autonomy, competence, critical sense that the student has shown during the development of the project and during the presentation.
Exam language
