General expected learning outcomes The main objective of the Laboratory and Biochemical and Molecular Biological Activities is to allow the student direct experience of biochemical, molecular biology and biotechnological techniques through attendance at laboratories in the above Research Area. Observation of the experimental work carried out in the laboratories will be useful in preparing him/her for the methodological approach, using the techniques observed, for the development, in a creative and inventive way, of new strategies of investigation, new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Specific expected learning outcomes 1. Knowledge and understanding The student during visit in the laboratories of biochemistry, molecular biology and biotechnology will deepen their knowledge of the techniques and methodologies and models of experimentation, in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, applied to research (e.g., Cell Culture, Western blotting, PCR and Real-Time PCR Immunoprecipitation; Cloning and Expression Vectors in prokaryotes). 2. Applying knowledge and understanding The students will know the most appropriate investigative strategies for research. They will be able to define critical points and those that can be implemented. They will know the application of specific instrumental methods and the methodological strategies used in conducting experimental work designed to identify new molecular targets for the development of new therapeutic treatments and diagnostic techniques, including biotechnology-based ones. 3. Making judgements Students will be prompted to ask questions through analysis of what they have observed during the training activity. This will serve as an incentive for learners to work on synthesizing all the skills and knowledge acquired during their course and will stimulate their critical sense. They will acquire skills to use a scientific methodological approach to study and research activities, as well as collect and interpret experimental data related to issues in the field. 4. Communication skills The training activity will involve continuous interaction with students will be able to present in the form of a report what has been observed in the laboratory, with particular reference to experimental methodologies. This mode will make it possible to assess the student's communication skills with regard to what has been learned during the course. 5. Learning skills The student will be able to study in depth the activities and methodologies observed by consulting bibliographic material and databases specific to the field. The students will also develop the learning ability that will allow them to update their knowledge.
