Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The first scope of the lectures is to introduce the theoretical and practical bases of the molecular gentic and biology. The second sope will be to improve the student knowledge in advanced biochemistry. The major aim of the course will be to help students for the comprehension of other lectures of the master in ecology and biology of the organism and for the master in biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Introduction to genetic ("bachelier" in biological sciences).

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The pratical courses consist in problem-based learning activities concerning genetics, genetic engineering and molecular biology.

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Face-to-face course
