9796577 - SCIENZE BIOMEDICHE
Module BIOCHIMICA

The course aims to provide an adequate preparation for the knowledge of the molecular basis of life, the fundamental chemical properties of substances, the structure and function of macromolecules involved in life processes, in the cell and in the organism, and the metabolic transformations of biomolecules necessary for the functioning of the human. The student will understand the meaning of the variations of the main metabolic pathways in different physiological and pathological contexts, with regard ailments related to inadequate work environments.

Traditional lectures, with the support of slides and audiovisual tools. At the end of the lecture, ample space is given to the comment on the discussed topics.

Should teaching be carried out in mixed modality or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes with respect to previous roles, in line with the programme planned and outlined in the Syllabus.

Information for students with disabilities and/or SLD

To guarantee equal opportunities and in compliance with the laws in force, students can ask for a personal interview in order to plan any compensatory and / or dispensatory measures, based on the didactic objectives and specific needs. It is also possible to contact the CInAP contact person (Center for Active and Participated Integration - Services for Disabilities and/or SLD) of competence.

The course includes the minimum basic requirements to be able to follow the lessons and take the final exam. The student attending the Biochemistry course will have to know the fundamental concepts of General and Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Biochemical Propaedeutics and have a good knowledge base of physics and cell biology.
