The Course is meant to give an understanding of the main causes of disease and knowledge of the physiological response to cell and tissue damage. The Course gives also insights into the pathogenesis of important processes such as inflammation, neoplastic transformation, metabolic and blood related disorders
Knowledge of different aspects of general physiopathology that enable graduate students to explore or expand any field connected to this topic.
Understanding of the mechanisms underlying the inflammatory process and the neoplastic transformation. In-depth knowledge of the main molecular and cellular mechanisms of the immune response (natural and adaptive). Comprehension of the central aspects of important metabolic and blood diseases.
Frontal lessons
