In
the Biochemistry, Cellular Biochemistry and Molecular Biology modules the
structure-function relationships of biological molecules, signalling pathways
and metabolism are illustrated.
Through the knowledge of how molecules and cells work, the chemical processes
that define them, and how they interact with one another, students will get an
in-depth insight into how cells and tissues function in health and sickness and
how we can use that knowledge to understand
the basis of treatments for diseases. Thus, the course is crucial and
will pave the way for a molecular approach to physiology, pathology and
pharmacology courses.
The exam is written including multiple choice questions and open questions on the topics covered in the lectures of the Biochemistry, Cellular Biochemistry and Molecular Biology modules.
