PHYSIOLOGY OF HORMONAL REGULATION
(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.

During the laboratory practices and the corresponding theoretic lessons, the following topics will be covered:- isolation of microorganisms of industrial relevance from the environment, preparation of growth media and cultivation techniques;- transposon–based mutagenesis (generation and screening of mutant libraries);- genetic transfer processes (conjugation and transformation);- use of whole-cell bacterial biosensors for gauging specific molecules produced by other microorganisms.The following topics will be covered in additional theoretic lessons: - development of innovative therapeutic strategies based on biotechnological processes;- development of biosensors and reporter systems for the identification of new drugs;- application of synthetic biology to microbial biotechnology;- properties of the regulatory networks and their application to biotechnological processes.
( reference books)
Selected topics will be available on suggested Microbiology and Microbial Biotechnology books. Specific research papers and experimental protocols will be provided during theoretic lessons on advanced research topics and laboratory practices. Innovative teaching will be promoted by cloud-sharing of power-point presentations illustrating the main topics of the course. Moreover, students will be encouraged to make use of web-based resources and databases to autonomously increase their knowledge on specific advanced topics.Students will be received every Monday, from 3:00 to 4:00 pm. Students can be received at the best of their convenience if an appointment has been fixed at the end of the lessons or by email.

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 and contrasted 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
