| | General Embryology |
|
| How can a living being develop from a single cell? How do incredibly precise steps follow each other in space and time to form a photoreceptor organ, a lens and muscles able to properly control its sequence as well as structures secreting the fluid for the transmission of light?
Where will the left and the right sides, the belly and the back, the head and the tail appear from an apparently unorganized cell mass?
Whether cells are free or structured into tissues, they get organized, move and evolve in terms of shape and function following a single rule: close interdependence.
Nature needed more than 2 billion years to create what we see today ¿ not by developing endless basic information items (we have only 30,000 genes) but by increasing the number of possible multiple regulations (if there was a coding gene for each iris structure, there would not be enough of them!).
The General Embryology course aims at explaining the different steps and ¿ above all ¿ the mechanisms used for building autonomous organisms. |
| | General Genetics |
|
| The course is intended for 1st-year students in medicine and dental sciences. It aims at introducing basic genetic concepts while demonstrating prospects in the medical and biological fields. The course presents theoretical bases and describes the human genome, as well as simple and complex genes transmission. It also deals with the essentials of population genetics and focuses on the issue of genetic defects and medical consequences.
Chapter 1. Genes and genome
Chapter 2. Gene transmission
Chapter 3. Complex gene transmission
Chapter 4. Population genetics
Chapter 5. Genetic defects |

| | General Genetics |
|
| - Defining the organization of genes. Defining intragenic and extragenic DNA. Understanding prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomic structures.
- Understanding the rules for the hereditary transmission of simple genetic characters. Understanding genetic recombination mechanisms.
- Understanding the notion of quantitative trait. Assessing interactions between genes and the environment for the determination of complex traits. Understanding methods for exploring the role of heredity in the determination of complex traits and pathologies.
- Understanding how intra- or interpopulation genetic variations can be observed. Mastering and applying the Hardy-Weinberg law. Mastering and understanding how to modify the Hardy-Weinberg balance. |
| | Introduction to Human Anatomy |
|
| The goals of that course are multiple:
-first: to give an overview of the general architecture of the human body to allow a good undserstanding of the principal physiological processes
-second: to give an integrative view of the anatomy
-third: to train the student with the 3D vision of the human body and its components by the use of the descriptive tools (from old tool (as section, schemes...) to niew tools (computer assisted imaging, 3D reconstruction) |
