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 slides shown during lectures, the detailed program and additional information are available during the course in the KIRO platform. Lecturers are available for any clarifications upon request.

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.
