Biology, Applied Physics, Biochemistry
(objectives)
The objectives of this Integrated Teaching are aimed at providing students with the knowledge requi-red for their future work. In particular, the BioPhysics module aims to provide tools for understanding the principles underlying medical physics and the functioning of medical equipment. By the end of the course, the student will have acquired the fundamental concepts for applying the Scientific Method to the study of physiological and biomedical phenomena, including the selection and mea-surement of parameters and the assessment of errors. Students will acquire basic knowledge regarding the structure and function of biological macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids and pro-teins). They will also gain the understanding of essential metabolic pathways and cycles with a special focus on glucose, lipid and amino acid metabolism. Moreover, they will become familiar with the morphological and physiological characteristics of the cell, as functional unit of living organisms. Ano-ther significant objective will be to apply the experimental method to comprehend the biological mechanisms regulating life and and the pathological processes stemming from alterations in these mechanisms. Students will come to realize that the solution to each biological problem can be sought at the cellular level. Upon completing the course, they will also be proficient in distinguishing the primary categories of genetic diseases, including monogenic, chromosomal, and multifactorial di-seases, as well as recognizing their modes of transmission.
