Doctoral programme Medical Sciences 2024W |
| Objectives |
(*)The course exposes students to translational medical research, beginning with clinical problems and progressing to laboratory research to develop new treatments. Medical students learn basic scientific background and molecular biology methodology, serving as a foundation for disease-oriented translational medicine. The course offers insights from both basic research and clinical practice, guiding medical students interested in laboratory-based medical research or considering a career as clinician scientists.
|
| Subject |
(*)This course explores the foundational principles of molecular and cellular biology, genetics, and clinical aspects related to diseases (e.g. cancer). Topics may include genes, signaling networks, cellular life cycle, molecular pathogenesis, and clinical manifestations. Furthermore, we will explore advanced methods utilized in molecular medical research, including gene manipulation, molecular phenotyping and the application of in vitro and in vivo model systems.
|
| Criteria for evaluation |
(*)Attendance, active participation in the discussion, final report in the form of a review. The positive assessment is "participated successfully", the negative assessment is "participated without success".
|
| Methods |
(*)The instructional format will consist of a balanced blend of traditional lectures and interactive literature club-like discussions, fostering a dynamic and participatory learning environment. Additionally, students will be encouraged to take the practical course in the same module to acquire hands-on experience of methods used in research laboratories.
