Learning Objectives
The objective of the Molecular Pathology and Laboratory course is to consider the pathology from a molecular point of view. Students will acquire informations concerning the altered molecular patterns - in different models of disease (focusing the neoplastic diseases) - with particular attention to epigenetics mechanisms . Additionally, several experimental approaches will be considered to study the most relevant biological processes (e.g. apoptosis, gene expression, epigenetic profiles, etc.)
Program
- The control of DNA stability: repair versus mutation
- Cell death
- Senescence, Telomeres and cancer stem cells
- Experimental procedures for senescence/cell death indentification
- Regulation of the gene expression: from transcription factors to
chromatin structure
- Experimental approaches for gene expression studies
- Methods for epigenetic studies
- Growth Factors Signaling and Oncogenes
- Growth inhibition and tumor suppressor genes
- Methods to study the cell cycle
- The paradoxical model of APL: from the mechanism of the disease to therapy

Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
Knowledge and understanding - Acquisition of the tools to understand the molecular mechanisms of disease. Ability to use the language of their specific discipline.
Applying knowledge and understanding - Ability to recognize and apply the cognitive tools and the rigorous approach of the Molecular Pathology as rational of any activity related directly and indirectly to health protection.
Indipendence of judgment - Being able to learn and independently evaluate the results of investigations on the pathogenesis and diagnosis of diseases
Communicative skills ?- Ability to explain, in a simple, immediate and exhaustive manner the acquired knowledge and to know how to interface with future professional roles (researchers, students, health-operative).
Learning ability - Upgrade capabilities through consultation of the scientific literatue of the discipline. Ability to participate, using the knowledge gained in the course, the continuous updating initiatives in the professional field.

Le studentesse e gli studenti che hanno registrato la certificazione di disabilità o la certificazione di DSA presso l'Ufficio Inclusione e diritto allo studio, possono chiedere di utilizzare le mappe concettuali (per parole chiave) durante la prova di esame.
A tal fine, è necessario inviare le mappe, due settimane prima dell’appello di esame, alla o al docente del corso, che ne verificherà la coerenza con le indicazioni delle linee guida di ateneo e potrà chiederne la modifica.
