|
|
| Duration : | 30h Th |
|
| Number of credits : |
|
|
| Lecturer : | Jean-Christophe Plumier |
|
Language(s) of instruction :
|
| French language |
|
Organisation and examination :
|
| Teaching in the second semester |
|
Course contents :
|
| This course offers to study specific topics in toxicology during animal developpement according to students' needs. Studied topics depend upon students' interests for a precise problem possibly related to their honour thesis. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| The main goal consists in giving answers to specific problems of toxicology during development in animals. In this course, all levels of physiology (molecular, cellular and organ aspects) will be examined to draw a global scheme of toxicological and physiological mechanisms in play. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Cell Physiology, animal physiology, histology, cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistrry |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Each student will choose precise topics in developmental toxicology under the teacher's advise. The student will develop the various (molecular, cellular, ...) aspects related to the topics and propose physiological mecanisms underlying the studied case. If possible, each student will present his/her comprehensive work for discussion. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| The final appreciation will be determined mostly on the basis of the written reports and, eventually, on an oral presentation and the active interaction during the course depending on the number of attending students. |
|
Work placement(s) :
|
| |
|
Organizational remarks :
