Teilnahmevoraussetzungen | Enrolment in Master´s programme Molecular Biomedicine; Knowledge of cell biology is beneficial for comprehension of lecture content |
Kompetenzziele | Goals of the Module: Upon successful completion of this module, students - know molecular mechanisms of cellular physiology - know physiology of the following human body organ systems: muscular system, nervous system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, urinary system - understand pathophysiology of certain diseases - know basic principles of functional tests for certain organ systems. Competencies: ++ deepened biological expertise ++ deepened clinical/pathological expertise ++ deepened knowledge of medical diagnostic methods + data analysis and clinical interpretation + interdisciplinary thinking |
