Biology, Biochemistry and General Microbiology , module of Biochemistry:
At the end of the course the student will have knowledge of basic biochemistry for a complete understanding of biochemistry, general aspects and metabolic disorders. Then he will know and understand the metabolic processes of the human body and the basic principles of metabolic and hormonal relationship , with extensive references related to pathological situations. The student will also have general information regarding the biochemistry of nutrition, with particular reference to the achievement and maintenance of good health

Medical genetics:
At the end of the course the student will be able to reconstruct family trees, to interpret the segregation of the diseases presented, to know how to diagnose a genetic disease
The aim of the course is to lead students to acquire basic knowledge on i) chemical composition, structure and functions of the cell, as basic unit of living organisms; ii) the energetic flux indispensable to life; iii) genetics heredity.

Clinical Biochemistry:
At the end of this course, the student will know the role of biochemical parameters in biological samples as well as in vivo at different levels of structural organization, from single molecules to cells, and in the whole organism both in the humans and in animals. The student will be able to know and manage: the role of the biochemical parameters that are the basis of inherited diseases and the quality control system; the automation technologies for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the biochemical parameters useful for clinical diagnostics.
