Introduction to the Clinical Biochemistry. The biological samples: handling and storage, Analytical and biological variation, Quality control, Laboratory management.
Analytical Separation Science: identifications or separations procedures: from spectrophotometry to mass spectrometry. The new era of "omic sciences" : from Genomic, to Proteomic and Metabolomics. Lipid metabolism and Lipidomics.
Function and diagnostic approach to organs and tissues study: heart, liver, and kidney
Metabolomics : Glucose metabolism and Glicomics; Lipid Metabolism and Lipidomics
Knowledge of research techniques in molecular biology starting from the isolation and treatment of nucleic acids, the standard sequencing and genotyping techniques up to the new high-throughput genotyping whole genome to define genetic variants , the gene expression using microarrays and the use of the main techniques of massive sequencing for analysis of DNA and RNA.
