Physiopathology, Introduction in Biotechnologies Diagnostic and Therapy
A.Y. 2018/2019
Learning objectives
The training course has the following aims:
- Comprehension of the main physiological systems and their related pathophysiology
- Comprehension of the principles of diagnostic and therapy in liquids and solids tumors
- Comprehension of the main physiological systems and their related pathophysiology
- Comprehension of the principles of diagnostic and therapy in liquids and solids tumors
Expected learning outcomes
The course aims to provide students with the basic knowledge of the major human diseases and the processes that cause them, in order to provide the necessary background for understanding the role of the biotechnology tools employed in diagnostics and therapy of these alterations. To this end, the course is structured in a series of lectures regarding the pathophysiology of the main systems complemented by lectures on the possible biotechnological approaches related to the diagnostics and treatment of the analyzed diseases.
