Prerequisiti
Basic knowledge of chemistry and biochemistry. Notions on the nature and structure of proteins. Basic knowledge of principles of molecular biology of the cell, including mechanisms of DNA replication and regulation of gene expression.
Metodi didattici
Lectures will be accompanied by hands-on laboratory work, during which the experiments carried out in the laboratory session will reinforce the concepts presented in the lectures.
Live discussions and questions during lecture and tutorials are encouraged.
Live discussions and questions during lecture and tutorials are encouraged.
Materiale di riferimento

Modalità di verifica dell’apprendimento e criteri di valutazione
Given the highly interactive nature of the course, which includes practical laboratory activities, it is essential to attend lessons regularly. Students who have followed at least 80% of the course are considered attending.
The overall assessment of the students will be based on their performance in an oral examination. The exam will consist of the discussion of 2-3 general topics, selected among those discussed during the course. Students will be also asked to comment on an experimental paper selected among those presented during the course.
