Academic Year 2026/2027

  • Teaching Mode: In-person learning (entirely or partially)
  • Campus: Bologna
  • Corso: Single cycle degree programme (LMCU) in Medicine and Surgery (cod. 6733)

Learning outcomes

At the end of the module, the student acquires methodological and applicative elements useful for integrating the knowledge gained in lessons of Chemistry and Biochemistry.

Course contents

BIOCHEMISTRY LABORATORY OF SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION

Computer-based exercises in Biochemistry related to Signal Transduction, using the “Jove” database for further study and for carrying out a final self-assessment of learning by using the Wooclap application. Basic knowledge of G protein–mediated signal transduction is integrated through examples of clinical case studies.

Teaching methods

The laboratory activities in small groups will be carried out after a thorough explanation in classroom lectures of the theoretical principles underlying the exercises.

Health and safety training for activities carried out in computer laboratories and similar settings

 Considering the types of activities involved and the teaching methods adopted, participation in this training activity requires all students—including incoming international students, such as Erasmus students—to complete the General Training Course (Module 1) and the Low-Risk Training Course (Module 2) via E-Learning, available on the following webpage:Students – General and specific training [https://site.unibo.it/tutela-promozione-salute-sicurezza/en/training/students-general-and-specific-training]

Assessment methods

The laboratory activities contribute to achieving the educational objectives of the General and Metabolic Biochemistry module.

Oral examination (refer to the Metabolic Biochemistry course).
