Training objectives
- To give information in basic chemistry, useful in understanding contents of following courses. To give the basis of biochemistry such as energy metabolism and the main classes of macromolecules regulating biochemical processes of living organisms.
The course is intended to teach basic concepts of descriptive and inferential statistics applied to the biomedical field.
The teaching program is designed to providing the basic knowledge for interpreting the main statistical results reported in scientific evidence.
Know the main functions of the cell and the mechanisms related to the preservation, expression and transmission of genetic information. Know the different biology approaches and techniques applied to diagnostic and scientific laboratories.
Understanding of basic scientific knowledge useful in physiopatology of living systems.
The goal is to provide the student with theoretical information on the main microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites), their interaction with the environment and with humans and the methods of transmission and prevention of infections. Some pathogenic microorganisms will also be presented whose transmission, through contact or air, can be prevented through the implementation of appropriate strategies. Prerequisites
