About the course
Aim
Knowledge and understanding
Having completed the course, the student is expected to be able to:
- Explain, at an in-depth level, cell death and cellular stress, and how these mechanisms can contribute to pathological conditions
- Relate central molecular and cellular pathophysiological mechanisms to different disease groups, including neoplasi and cardiovascular diseases
- Describe how genetic and environmental factors can contribute to the onset of illness
- Describe how different types of model systems and methods can be used to give insight into disease mechanisms
- Describe diagnostic methods and basic principles for treatment of diseases
- Explain how disturbances in organogenesis can lead to disease
Skills and abilities
On completion of the course, the student shall be able to:
- Apply biomedical methods in studies of disease progression
- Independently collect, define and critically review scientific literature in pathology from a scientific, ethical and societal perspective
- Identify disease mechanisms and suggest strategies to study them and how to use them as targets for treatment
- Convey informative and arguing scientific oral and written presentations
Judgement ability and approach
On completion of the course, the student shall be able to:
- Reflect on ethical, practical and scientific issues concerning the use of different types of disease models in biomedical research
- Critically analyze and appraise knowledge within molecular pathology from a scientific, societal and ethical perspective
Content
The course deals with pathology and pathophysiological mechanisms from a molecular and cellular perspective. The course also aims to provide knowledge about how different model systems and biomedical methods can be used to study disease mechanisms. Within the framework of the course different diseases are used as examples to give an in-depth knowledge and insights how disturbed functions on molecular, cellular, tissue and organ level can lead to disease.
The course encompasses the field of pathology with links to physiology, histology, cell biology, biochemistry and molecular biology.
