Learning Objectives

• ORGANIZATION BEHAVIOUR AND DESIGN,
  

  The course develops skills in business organization in order to understand how the single laboratory technician activity is placed in the view of the national health system and more generally in the country system. The key issue is the presentation of the basic concepts behind any organization and the objectives that it must propose and achieve.

  The model of organization present in the Italian health authorities , their goals and working methods are presented.

• SISTEMI DI ELABORAZIONE DELLE INFORMAZIONI
  

  The goal of the course is to provide general concepts of IT processing system (knowledge and understanding) and how it can be applied in the health sector, analyzing concrete examples (applying knowledge and understanding), deepening aspects related to managerial systems in the governance and monitoring of operational processes with the function of supporting decision-making steps (making judgements).

  Cooperative learning and PBL activities will develop communication and learning skills

• Bioinformatics
  

  Objective of the course is the acquisition of methods for the analysis of biological sequences and structures and the capability of searching in in biological databases (eg. Genes, sequences, functional domains). Starting from primary sequences of nucleic acids or proteins can hypothesize the function, evolutionary history and structure. The tools used to achieve these objectives are the public databases and the tools for the analysis and visualization of such kind of data.

  Knowledge and understanding: Students will gain knowledge on methods for the analysis of biological sequences and for searching in biological databases. In particular students will be able to search on database of sequences and domains. Also, public databases available on NCBI will be presented together with software for the and the analysis and visualization of biological data. Finally, students will acquire the basic tools for the analysis of the transcriptome.
  Applying knowledge and understanding: identify the appropriate tools to manipulate data and extract knowledge underlying; solve problems through the use of appropriate software in bioinformatics.
  Making judgments: Through guided exercises, the students will acquire the basic skills necessary to deal with the analysis of new biological sequences, hypothesizing the function, study the transcriptome.
  Communication skills: the student will acquire the necessary communication skills and expressive appropriateness in the use of technical language within the general framework of the analysis of biological data.
  Learning skills: The course aims, as the goal, to provide students with the necessary basic theoretical methods and practices in order to address and solve problems concerning the analysis of biological data.
