Students are required to read or resolve assigned chapters, articles, problems, etc., before the corresponding classes. For specific subjects there will be invited lectures given by prestigious professionals in the field. Visits to hospitals and biomed/biotech companies are foreseen. In the discussion and problems sections, relevant scientific articles and problems will be presented and discussed by the students.
In the laboratory classes, students divided in small groups of 3-4 will perform the described experiments with the help of a supervisor. Students will be required to elaborate a report discussing the experiments performed, the obtained results, the relevance and applications in biomedicine and the experience and skills gained.
