At the end of the course the student must know morpho-functional and metabolic characteristics of the prokaryotic cell
and eukaryotic, the fundamentals of the genetic code and of the regulation of gene expression, of the mechanisms of inheritance e
the nature of gene mutation, aspects of genetic pathology and of development, of molecular and cell pathology and of environmental pathology; acquires knowledge of the fundamentals of neoplastic transformation and inflammation, of pathogenic microorganisms for humans, of relationships between host and pathogenic organisms; the main techniques of classical microbiology and the general principles of immunology.
At the end of the course the student must demonstrate that he has acquired the critical skills and tools necessary to understand the evolutionary approach to biological phenomena; must be able to distinguish the main genetic diseases; be able to distinguish genetic and developmental pathologies, molecular, cellular, environmental, neoplastic and inflammatory pathologies; be able to recognize the morphological, structural and genetic characteristics of microorganisms and their pathogenicity, to understand the mechanisms of action of the main antibacterial and antiviral drugs and be able to distinguish the prevention tools such as vaccines.

Module: APPLIED BIOLOGY

Module: GENETICS
genetic bases of human diseases


Module: GENERAL PATHOLOGY
The General Pathology module aims to provide the basic knowledge to make the student able to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate pathological processes in humans. The aim of the knowledge of the etiopathogenetic bases of diseases and pathological processes constitutes the indispensable substrate for the laboratory approach for the prevention, therapy and clinical aspect of human pathologies.

Module: GENERAL PATHOLOGY
The assessment of knowledge will be verified through an oral interview, during which the candidate must demonstrate that he has acquired the knowledge and ability to critically interpret the topics and problems taken into consideration during the course.
To pass the exam it is necessary to achieve a score of no less than 18/30. To achieve a score of 30/30 cum laude, the student must demonstrate that he has acquired excellent knowledge of all the topics covered during the course, being able to connect them in a logical and coherent way, explaining the topics clearly and with appropriate terminology.
