Biology, Applied Physics, Biochemistry
(objectives)
Aim of the teaching is to provide students with knowledge on the fundamentals of applied physics necessary to the performance of their future activity. In particular, the comprehension of physical principles at the base of medical physics and of functioning of medical instrumentation will be addressed. At the end of the course, the students will know the fundamental concepts of application of the Scientific Method to the study of biomedical phenomena (choice and measure of parameters, evaluation of errors), they will be able to describe physical phenomena of complex systems using suitable mathematical tools, they will know the scientific basis of medical procedures and principles of functioning of the equipment commonly used for diagnostics and therapeutics. Students will learn knowledge on the structure, function and regulation of biological macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids and proteins). To acquire basic knowledge on the main metabolic pathways and cycles with particular regard to carbohydrate, lipid and amino acid metabolism. Students will learn with knowledge based on inheritance of monogenic, chromosomal and multifactorial diseases. At the end of the course the student will be able to distinguish the main classes of genetic diseases and to recognize the modes of transmission of hereditary diseases. Students will learn knowledge related to the physiological and morphological characteristics of cells, as functional units of living organisms. Another important goal is to use the scientific method to understand the biological mechanisms that regulate life and as a tool for the study of pathological processes.
