Clinical Biochemistry and Related Diagnostic Techniques

The course aims to provide the basic notions to:
1. use the biological sample correctly, treating it and keeping it in correct way so as to draw from it clinically useful indications
2. know the main clinical biochemistry analytes and the related methodological principles used for their measurement
3. know the related clinical biochemistry techniques.

The student will be in possession of the basic notions of clinical biochemistry and clinical molecular biology in order to be able to use, treat and conserve the biological sample properly as well as to know the main analytes used in clinical biochemistry.
The basic knowledge learned by clinical biochemistry will be used by the student to understand and apply the methodological principles underlying the main analytical techniques related to clinical biochemistry and clinical molecular biology.
