OVERVIEW

This course provides to the student a 20 hours-long direct experience in a biomedical research laboratoryThis course provides to the student a 25 hours-long direct experience in a biomedical research laboratory  This course provides to the student a 20 hours-long direct experience in a biomedical research laborator

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

To know and to practice the most common methods used in biomedical research laboratories involved in pre-clinical and clinical projects. The student will be acquanted in analytical practices, biological dosages and in the production of experimental data

 

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The student will learn experimental practices mainly associated to the three scientific areas of the course: physiology, biochemistry and applied biology. In detail, the student will learn the biomedical techniques in use in the laboratory affiliated to the course chosen by the student. In particular: techniques used in genetic counseling, cellular and molecular biology techniques commonly used to investigate the molecular basis of diseases, tachniques commonly used for the biochemical investigation of metabolic diseases, microscopy techniques, analysis of tissue sections and biological samplesThe student will learn experimental practices mainly associated to the three scientific areas of the course: physiology, biochemistry and applied biology.

TEACHING METHODS

The course is composed by a 25 hours long research training in a laboratory directed by a biomedical scientist affiliated to the University of Genoa. The student choses the research lab preferred and take accord with the director of the lab in order to plan the period of attendance. During the course (that usually takes place in one week) the student interactes with the personnel of the research lab and is engaged in the experimental practices of the lab. At the end of the course, the head of the research staff evaluates the activity of the student and, if positive, he/she provides the coordinator of the course with an eligibility certificate that will be registered by the coordinator in the student's career.

 

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

The program is strictly dependent on the research area of the biomedical research laboratory chosen by the student.

RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY

The student wil receive by the Research staff the appropriate material such as: Research articles, Reviewes, and book chapters.
