General Pathology and Physiopathology

The course aims at providing knowledge in:
i) molecular mechanisms of damage at the cellular, tissue and organismic level,
ii) subcellular, cellular, tissue and organismic responses to damage,
iii) integration of the said elements towards the understanding of selected topics in physiopathology, iv) state-of-the-art in genomic medicine and precision medicine.

Students:
a) know the mechanisms of damage and of the responses to damage,
b) know the principles and the pathological implications of acute and chronic inflammation,
c) know the biological and molecular bases of cancer and the molecular rational of anti-cancer therapies,
d) possess integrated knowledge of physiopathology in selected topics including coagulation disorders, cancer, liver diseases, kidney diseases, endocrine diseases, bowel inflammatory diseases and neurodegenerations,
e) are capable of interpreting molecular profiles in genomic medicine.
