About this module
Proteins are the effectors of the genomic information. Their biology is going to determine the physiological or pathological status of the tissues and the organisms.
During this module, students will understand how proteins modulate health and disease.
Learning outcomes
-
Provide the students with a basic understanding of protein-related cellular and molecular pathways
-
Define proteome and why it is relevant
-
Understand how proteins are differently expressed in different physiological/pathological conditions.
-
Introduce the main technical approaches to tackle the study of protein
