Learning outcomes
At the end of the module, the student will acquire methodological and practical tools useful for integrating the knowledge gained in the Biochemistry course. su
Course contents
The Biochemistry Laboratory course is part of the integrated Biochemistry course included in the first-year curriculum of the Medicine and Surgery degree program.
In the second semester, some sessions will be held in the computer lab using suitable software (Nutrigeo, Progeo Medical, Italy) to design personalized dietary plans, taking into account an individual's nutritional status and energy expenditure, aimed at the prevention and/or treatment of specific pathologies.
This experience will allow students to deepen their understanding of the metabolic pathways related to the organs studied in the Metabolic Biochemistry course and how these pathways are altered in classical diseases (e.g., diabetes).
Readings/Bibliography
Specific websites related to the topics covered in the laboratory sessions will be recommended.
Teaching methods
Laboratory activities guided by the professor.
Presentation of a professional software tool aimed at teaching how to assess an individual's nutritional status, total energy expenditure, and how to develop specific dietary plans for the prevention/treatment of various diseases.
Assessment methods
The laboratory activity contributes to achieving the learning objectives of the Metabolic Biochemistry module. Students' learning is assessed through questions included in the written Metabolic Biochemistry exam.
