Technical Science of Biomedical Laboratory

This class aims to show to the students all the duties that a Laboratory Technician can perform in a Biomedical Laboratory focused on Scientific research. In particular, this class will introduce the professional figure of the so-called "Laboratory Manager" and will explain his/her duties in the organization, methodologies and decision-making processes within a Research Biomedical Laboratory. Great emphasis will be given to the concept of "Translational Medicine" that take care of the so-called "bed-to-bench" research project aimed to address still open and unmet clinical needs.

The student will have e full knowledge and will be able to list and describe the main methodologies and experimental approaches as well as the organization of a biomedical laboratory. This class will also teach the theory of all the main technologies adopted in research biomedical laboratories. The practice of some of these technologies will be then performed during the linked 3rd year class of "Professionalizing Class of Advanced Technologies of Medical Laboratory".
