BIO-ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
(objectives)
The course will address the chemical transformations shared by organic chemistry and biological systems. Indeed, although the functional group elaborations are formally the same, the followed reaction pathways result to be quite different with respect to the experimental conditions of both organic syntheses and biological processes. In such a context, the enzymatic action modes in living systems will be compared with the key role performed by temperature, pressure, pH, catalysts and solvents. Keeping this in mind, a few of the most well-known chemical reaction mechanisms will be studied, underlining, step by step, the main similarities and distinctions with the analogous biological transformations

(objectives)
Offering the students a new perspective in the study of parasitology, by means of an ecological- evolutionary and comparative approach. The intimate and intricate nature of the association between host and parasite, has traditionally been studied by giving emphasis on its pathogeniticy for non human animal and human hosts. In contrast, this course offers the student the opportunity to deepen topics such as adaptive strategies of parasitic life-style, the impact of parasitism on the community structure or else the role of a parasite in the trophic energy transfer in the community. Emphasis will be given to the host as key element in the parasite environment and, as such, its important role as a selective pressure. The student will be provided with a dynamic course made of lectures, workshops and tutorials on taxa parasites

PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR THE GENETIC IMPROVEMENT OF FOOD CROPS
(objectives)
THIS COURSE WILL PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH AN IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF PLANT TRANSFORMATION TECHNIQUES AND PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS WITHIN AGRICULTURE AND PRODUCTION OF NEW MOLECULES. THIS COURSE WILL ALSO GIVE EDUCATION ON EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES, SUCH AS TRANSCRIPTOMICS, PROTEOMICS, METABOLOMICS, AND WILL DESCRIBE THEIR IMPORTANCE IN PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY RESEARCH. ANOTHER IMPORTANT AIM OF THE COURSE IS TO PREPARE STUDENTS TO CONDUCT LABORATORY WORK AND RESEARCH IN THE SECTORS OF PLANT BIOTECHNOLOGY AND FOOD INDUSTRY, AS WELL AS TO CRITICALLY ANALYZE THE SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION

MOLECULAR ENDOCRINOLOGY
(objectives)
ENDOCRINOLOGY IS USUALLY TAUGHT AT THE END OF STANDARD PHYSIOLOGY COURSES, BECAUSE THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM REGULATES ALL THE OTHER ORGAN SYSTEMS. IN THIS RESPECT, LEARNING ABOUT ENDOCRINE SYSTEM HAS THE ADDED CHALLENGE OF INTEGRATING STUDENT KNOWLEDGE OF HORMONES AND THEIR ACTIONS WITH THE GENERAL FUNCTION OF A SPECIFIC ORGAN SYSTEM. THE MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THIS COURSE ARE TO ALLOW THE STUDENT TO GAIN A FOUNDATION OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM AND INTEGRATIVE PHYSIOLOGY, TO BECOME REFINED IN THE CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF SCIENTIFIC PAPERS RELATED TO ENDOCRINE PHYSIOLOGY, TO DEVELOP PROBLEM SOLVING AND PUBLIC SPEAKING TECHNIQUES.

DEVELOPMENTAL NEUROBIOLOGY
(objectives)
THE MAIN GOAL IS TO PROVIDE ADVANCED KNOWLEDGE IN DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. THE CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR MECHANISMS UNDERLYING NERVOUS TISSUE DIFFERENTIATION AND MORPHOGENESIS WILL BE ADDRESSED IN DIFFERENT IN VIVO MODELS. LIFE-LONG FUNCTIONAL IMPLICATIONS OF NEUROGENESIS AND PLASTICITY WILL BE EMPHASIZED. THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO: 1) DESCRIBE DEVELOPMENTAL PROCESSES OF INVERTEBRATE AND VERTEBRATE NERVOUS SYSTEM; 2) RECOGNISE MOLECULAR PATHWAYS DIRECTING STEM CELLS TOWARDS NEURONAL/GLIAL CELL DIFFERENTIATION; 3) CORRELATE ONTOGENETIC ABNORMALITIES WITH SPECIFIC NEUROLOGICAL DISTURBANCES, INCLUDING INFANTILE DISEASES AND AGE-RELATED NEURODEGENERATION.
