Course contents :
|
| Biochemistry is studying the properties and reactions of molecules that contribute to living organism functions. Human biochemistry is focused on molecules and reactions that take place in the human body.After a brief revision concerning the main molecules implicated in the living processes, the lessons will be focused on subjets that are related to some public health problems. The main area will be: metabolism biochemistry, oxydative stress biochemistry, biochemistry of immunity, hormone biochemistry and biochemistry of cancer. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| The aim of this course is to revise some biochemical concepts usefull for the Master in Public Health. Additionally, this course is also about human biochemistry basics related to various public health problems. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Basics in cellular and molecular biology, as well as in general biochemistry. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| The course of human biochemistry is provided in amphitheater. It is divided into 7 to 8 lessons. There is no podcast available. Attendance to the course is not an obligation, however it is warmely recommended. |
