Molecular Bases of Life (2 year)
A.Y. 2022/2023
Learning objectives
The course aims to:
a) explain molecular/cellular mechanisms related to human biological systems and to understand the genesis of pathological states;
b) explain the structure-function relationship of macromolecules;
c) Describe intra- and inter-cellular communication of tissues and systems with particular reference to muscle, nervous, respiratory, digestive, coagulative, skeletal, immune, hematological systems;
d) understand the biochemical processes from the point of view of physiological and pathological outcomes;
e) learn the molecular mechanisms involved in pathological processes, the development of innovative diagnostic strategies and their role in precision medicine.

Expected learning outcomes
Students:
a) know the molecular and biochemical mechanisms underlying the biological systems in health and their alterations in disease;
b) know the basics of molecular, translational and personalized medicine, as well as system biochemistry;
c) develop the ability to identify and deepen the topics covered in the course through the international scientific literature by compiling a mini-review in English.
