Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Bioinformatics

The aim of the course in Molecular Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Bioinformatics is for students to develop knowledge and understanding of biomedical statistics, epidemiology, and bioinformatics.

1. Knowledge and understanding: At the end of the course, students must demonstrate knowledge of essential concepts in biomedical statistics, epidemiology, molecular epidemiology, and bioinformatics for the design, development, and interpretation of studies based on molecular and genomic methods.
2. Applying knowledge and understanding: Students must demonstrate that they possess the knowledge and concepts necessary to make the best use of the various molecular techniques and methodologies when applied in practice in different fields (health, animal husbandry, biology).
3. Making judgments: Students must demonstrate their ability to critically analyze the information acquired. Specific exercises on experimental and observational studies are designed for this purpose, applying epidemiological and biostatistical methods in various fields (health, animal husbandry, biology).
4. Communication: Students must demonstrate the ability to express themselves using scientifically appropriate terminology, particularly with regard to epidemiology and biostatistics. The exercises and practical cases presented during the course are intended to stimulate the ability to express oneself correctly and to discuss scientific topics with peers.
5. Lifelong learning skills: Students must demonstrate their ability to critically analyze the information acquired. Specific exercises on experimental and observational studies are designed for this purpose, applying epidemiological and biostatistical methods in various fields (health, animal husbandry, biology).
