Learning unit contents :
|
|||||
| The course is centered on the thorough study of one or several natural products included in a biological matrix. The main objective of this course is to increase knowledge in organic analysis (extraction processes, purification and identification of natural molecules), in chromatographic and spectroscopic methods.
This course is centered on the achievement of a group work in the laboratory and relies on the following steps: 1- Definition of the research project 2- Up-to-date bibliographic search (state of the art) 3- Preparation of the working strategy and main tasks (oral presentation in english) 4- Realisation of the project in the laboratory 5- Drafting of a synthetic report on the project and the results obtained |

|
Learning outcomes of the learning unit :
|
|||||
| How to use synergically the extraction, purification and identification (physical as well as chemical) techniques of organic molecules contained in complex biological matrixes. After completing the course the student is expected to - to present a research project - to carry out the project at the laboratory - to use, in synergistic manner, the techniques of extraction, purification and identification of organic compounds - to identify organic molecules contained in complex biological matrices | |||||
