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

Cultural skills (Knowledge of:) The course offers the students a new perspective in the study of parasitology, by means of an ecological- evolutionary and comparative approach. In contrast to the traditional emphasis on pathogeniticy for non-human animal and human hosts, this course offers the student the opportunity to deepen the intimate and intricate nature of the association between host and parasite as an adaptive strategy of the parasitic life-style, giving emphasis to the impact of parasitism on the community structure or else to the role of a parasite in the trophic energy transfer in the community. Host is considered as a key element in the parasite environment and, as such, a selective pressure.Methodological skills (Knowing how to perform:) acquire the critical thinking through readings and discussions, in order to correctly evaluate a research hypothesis, choose research tools and interpret resultsSYLLABUS1. Symbiotic interactions (phoresy, commensalism, exploitation, mutualism). Parasitism: definitions. Exploitation and trophic interactions: distinct adaptive strategies (predator/prey, parasitoid/prey, micropredators, parasite/host). Kinds of parasites: endo- and ecto-parasites, micro- and macro-parasites, obligate and facultative parasites, hyperparasites. Kinds of hosts: definitive and intermediate hosts, vectors, paratenic (transport) hosts, reservoire hosts. Mechanisms of invasion, evasion, and survival, transmission strategies. Protozoa and main Metazoan parasites: Platyhelminthes, Nematoda, Acanthocephala, Pentastomida, Arthropoda; parasitism in other metazoan2. Evolutionary parasitology. Origins of parasitism and transition to parasitism from a free-living ancestral life-style; resistance against the host's defense mechanisms and evolution of host specificity; complex life-cycles shaped by historical events and selective pressures; hosts as part of parasite environment and as a source of selective pressure. Host manipulation by parasites (e.g. behavioral alterations in parasitized hosts). Development of resistance, tolerance and life-history parameters in host species. Host-parasite coevolution: an evolutionary arms race and the “Red-queen” hypothesis.

SYLLABUS (continued)3. Evolutionary ecology of parasites. How complex life cycles have influenced the ecology of parasites at different hierarchical levels: individual, population, and community ecology. Parasitism and community structure in natural ecosystems. Parasites as ubiquitous components of ecosystems. Parasite’s influence on survival and reproduction of individual hosts, on the dynamics of host populations, and on the structure of entire communities. (A) parasites alter the flow of energy through a food web by converting host tissue into parasite tissue and (B) parasite-increased trophic transmission alters predator-prey dynamics by making infected prey easier to capture.4. Cladogenesis of parasitic taxa and co-speciation of parasite and host species. Phylogeny and ecology of host and parasite: how phylogeny may provide insights into the evolution of host and parasite associations, and how ecological data may provide insights into phylogenetic relationships. Causes of diversity in parasite life-history traits: role of selective pressure from hosts and physical environments, and role of phylogenetic constraints5. The biogeography of the host-parasite

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.
