Applied Biochemistry and Laboratory

The course aims to provide students with the theoretical (56 hours of frontal lesson) and practical (16 hours of laboratory practice) basis of the most advanced techniques used in biomedical research and their main applications.
The aim of the course is to provide students with the basic notions for an analytical approach to the different problems encountered in both basic and applied research laboratories.
The training objective of the course is to present and critically discuss biochemical methods to highlight potentiality, limits and complementarity. The contents of the course are constantly updated to train professionals who can fit into a biomedical laboratory with a theoretical preparation suitable for the practical use of the most modern methodologies

The students' learning outcomes are evaluated by the teacher through a written examination of applied biochemistry learning based on the programme carried out during the course.
The examination of the students by the teacher will be mainly aimed at assessing the theoretical and practical knowledge and understanding of biochemical techniques and the assessment of the skills acquired by the student at the completion of the course itself. In particular, the student's ability to use the language and the skills acquired to solve problems typical of biochemical laboratories with exercises of cases present in the literature will be evaluated. Finally, upon completion of the laboratory part, each student will have to present a report on the practical activities carried out and demonstrate that they have understood how to prepare a report and how to critically discuss the results obtained.
