BIOCHEMISTRY
Course objectives
General expected learning outcomes To understand the role of macromolecules in cells or tissues;- To provide students with knowledge about biochemical basis of cellular and metabolic processes that occur in human body under both physiological and pathological conditions; -To develop skills in the assessment and evaluation of pathologic condition from data of biochemical analysis. Specific expected learning outcomes 1. Knowledge and understanding Upon completion of the Biochemistry course, the student increases his or her scientific knowledge in the chemistry of living organisms such as: -relation between the structure and function of major biological molecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids and vitamins. - the biochemical mechanism essential for the proper metabolic functioning of living organisms. - Knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying diseases, useful for the pharmacological treatment of different diseases. 2. Applying knowledge and understanding The knowledges gained provides the ability to apply these skills in many areas such as pharmaceutical chemistry, medicine, and environmental science. The course provides the brightest students with good problem-solving skills in this area such as identifying new molecular targets for the development of new therapeutic treatments and diagnostic techniques, including biotechnology-based ones, and excellent communication skills. 3. Making judgements Ability to use a scientific methodological approach to study and research activities, exercising critical thinking and independent judgment. 4. Communication skills During the lessons, the students will be involved in the discussion of the topics covered in order to check their understanding, and learning of the subject matter and develop effective communication skills 5. Learning skills Students will acquire the ability to consult scientific bibliographic material and databases specific to the field, in order to maintain a continuous update of their professional knowledge and skills in relation to the advancement of the field both nationally and internationally. Students will acquire skills to independently undertake more advanced studies.
