Objectives.
The course aims at aims at providing students with basic knowledge in
1. Cell-to cell communication
2. Principles of Development
3. Principles of Differentiation
4. Mocelular mechanisms of cell biogenesis, turnover, homeostasis and death
5. Epigenetics
6. The applications of biotechnologies to improve heath
Expected learning outcomes:
o Knowledge and understanding
The student has to learn the following biological processes: cell to cell communications, development, differentiation, tissue turnover and homeostasis, cell death, the effects of environment -which include exercises- on gene expression in order to maintain health status, and possible therapeutic use of biotechnology.
o Applying knowledge and understanding
The student’ll apply knowledge to:
•identify and compare the different cell to cell communications
•understand the molecular mechanisms of cell biogenesis, turnover, homeostasis and death
•promote both suitable life stiles and correct use of biotechnology to maintain and preserve health and wellness.
o Making judgements
The student has to gain the e skill to select the appropriate scientific sources in order to make correct data integration and interpretation.
o Communication
The student has to explain the acquired knowledge using a proper scientific language, thus demonstrating a full comprehension of the course topics.
o Lifelong learning skills
The student has to develop the appropriate learning method in order to easily improve and upgrade his skills/knowledge
